Abstract: Work passion is significant to improving the teaching effectiveness of rural teachers and promoting their personal career development. Based on the self-determination theory, this research constructed a framework of “external environment nourishment & internal psychological needs satisfaction” inspired by rural teachers' work passion. Through a survey of 1289 rural teachers, this paper explored the effect and mechanism of job support on rural teachers' work passion. The results showed that job support, job autonomy, professional efficacy, and professional belonging all significantly positively affected work passion. Job autonomy, professional efficacy, and professional belonging played the mediating role separately in the relation between job support and work passion. The results suggest that adequate job support is an important factor in stimulating rural teachers' work passion, the psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relationship have independent functional value for work passion. Building a good job support system can satisfy rural teachers' psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relationships, and thus help to stimulate, and to maintain their work passion.

Key words: work passion, job support, basic psychological needs, rural teacher
