Abstract: Based on the theory of social identity, this present study introduced one mediating variable (job satisfaction) to examine the relationship between teachers' professional identity and affective commitment.

The results showed that: (1) There were significant positive correlations among teachers' professional identity, job satisfaction and affective commitment; (2) Teachers' professional identity not only have a direct effect on affective commitment, but also have an indirect effect on affective commitment through job satisfaction.
