Spiral Emotion Labor and Teacher Development Sustainability
Because the current literature on teachers’ emotion labor (EL) mainly focuses on strategies and how EL correlates with relevant factors in the educational context, EL is generally treated as static and synchronic. Teachers’ EL has been conceptualized as a contextual and dynamic process that takes the form of spiral circles that teachers encounter throughout their professional life.

Spiritual Leadership and Teacher Burnout
Teacher burnout refers to a fatigue syndrome consisting of three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, reduced personal accomplishment, and depersonalization, which are generated by the long−term work stress of the teacher group. Emotional exhaustion is defined as the individual’s extremely emotional and affective fatigue under extreme stress; reduced personal accomplishment is defined as the individual’s low value and meaningful assessment of self; and depersonalization is defined as the individual’s negative and insensitive attitude toward students. Teacher burnout is a typical behavioral symptom of teachers’ low job satisfaction, decreased enthusiasm for and loss of interest in work, and emotional detachment and indifference as a result of long−term stress at work.

Sport for Employability
Most definitions of employability highlight how individual skills, knowledge, or characteristics enable people to find and maintain employment, though some argue that definitions should consider the broader personal and external factors that drive employability. Many current employability recommendations focus on the importance of soft skills and, increasing, sport has been positioned as promising vehicle to develop these skills. This connection between sport and skills has led numerous sport for development (SFD) programmes to explicitly target (youth) employability. In this entry, the background of employability and the general pathways around sport-for-employability programmes are presented.

Sportsmanship
Sportsmanship is an aspiration or ethos that a sport or activity will be enjoyed for its own sake. This is with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respect, and a sense of fellowship with one's competitors. A "sore loser" refers to one who does not take defeat well, whereas a "good sport" means being a "good winner" as well as being a "good loser" (someone who shows courtesy towards another in a sports game).
