Based on attachment and self-determination theories, positive educator–learner relationships are keys to the development of learners. This is because educators who guide and support learner behavior in academic and emotional terms build a social context in which learners feel secure, interconnected, independent, competent, and motivated to learn, capable of personal growth (Aldrup et al., 2018). Many empirical studies are consistent with this assumption and show that educator proximity and educator influence are related to individual classroom outcomes, such as learner accomplishment, self-esteem, interest, or effort (Wentzel et al., 2010; Scherer et al., 2016). Nevertheless, these investigations have hardly ever inspected how educators influence their occupational wellbeing.
