Abstract:
As the education industry undergoes rapid changes, vocational education faces unprecedented demands and challenges. A high-quality teaching staff is crucial for educational institutions’ success and sustainable development. This study explores the impact of teaching team building and demographic factors on employee performance in vocational education schools. Data was collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS. The research finds that teaching team building and demographic factors significantly affect employee performance. Collaboration and team spirit, sharing teaching resources, and learning atmosphere and environment are essential for building a competent teaching team. Demographic factors such as age, education level, and work experience also affect employee performance. These findings provide valuable insight into the sustainable development of vocational education schools.
Keywords: teaching team building, demographic factors, employee performance
