Abstract
As an important academic human resource in universities, young teachers undertake the responsibility of cultivating innovative talents for the country. From the perspective of expectancy theory, this study analyzes the teaching dilemmas of young teachers in universities from three aspects: expectancy, valence, and instrumentality. Based on results, specific suggestions are proposed to stimulate the teaching enthusiasm of young teachers, including establishing a scientifically reasonable assessment system to balance the relationship between teaching and research; optimizing the salary and welfare system of young teachers to motivate their teaching initiative; and enriching training and development programs for young teachers to enhance their teaching abilities.
