The participants were teachers from the public junior high schools, including substitute teachers (full-time substitutes and adjunct teachers) and formal teachers. A total of 700 questionnaires were distributed, and 617 were valid among the participants with valid data, 339 were formal teachers, and 278 were substitute teachers. In addition to demographic information, the participants completed the Stress Scale, the Career Resilience Scale, the Satisfaction with Job Scale, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. The descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s product-moment correlation, and multiple regressions are employed to analyze the data. The results are: 1.Junior high school teachers (substitutes and formals) all possess high-level subjective career resilience, job satisfaction, and work engagement. 2. Full-time substitute teachers have more job satisfaction and work engagement than formal teachers, and have more job satisfaction than short-term substitute teachers. 3. Female substitute teachers have more stress their male counterparts, and full-time substitute teachers have more stress than adjunct teachers. 4. The substitute teachers, who want to pursue a formal position through teacher recruitment examinations, have more stress. 5. Career resilience is significantly related to job satisfaction and work engagement. 6. The job search (teacher recruitment examinations) stress has significantly positive effect on job satisfaction, but the interpersonal stress has significantly negative effect on job satisfaction. 7. Multiple regression results indicate the job search stress, interpersonal stress, and job satisfaction mediates the impact of demographic information and stress on work engagement. Suggestions were made accordingly.
