  1. NB: Data refer to upper secondary teachers. Logit model for: Declaring lack of employer support as a barrier to professional development as a binary outcome variable. NB: B (beta regression coefficient for the logit); b.se (standard error for B). NB: Model performance: LL (− 2 Log likelihood coefficient) = 335,192.08 (s.e. 10,821.71); CSR (Cox and Snell R2 coefficient) = 0.02 (s.e. 0.01); NKR (Nagelkerke R2 coefficient) = 0.02 (s.e. 0.01)
