This article explores whether secondary school teachers in the Netherlands are indeed – as is often claimed but not investigated empirically yet – suffering from ‘damaged professional pride’. Based on survey data gathered among teachers (n = 109), pupils (n = 554) and their parents (n = 264) we present a reliable multi-dimensional measure of professional pride, distinguishing a dimension of pride and a dimension of experienced esteem, which differ in their vulnerability and consequences. We demonstrate that while a lack of autonomy does not affect teachers’ pride, it does undermine their perception of being esteemed. This is crucial, since particularly feeling esteemed reduces the risk of quitting teaching. %U https://www.aup-online.com/content/journals/10.5117/MEM2012.1.DENB
