Stressors, Self-Efficacy, Coping Resources, and Burnout among Secondary School Teachers in Spain
Betoret, Fernando Domenech
Educational Psychology, v26 n4 p519-539 Aug 2006
The relationships among teacher occupational stressors, self-efficacy, coping resources, and burnout were investigated in a sample of 247 Spanish secondary school teachers. Concretely, two specific aims were formulated in order to examine the effect of teaching stressors on teacher burnout and the role of self-efficacy and school coping resources as mediator or moderator variables in the stressor-burnout relationship. Teachers reported that when their pedagogical practice in the school setting was being interfered with or hindered by a set of factors from the multiple contexts involved in students' learning, problems of burnout occurred. In addition, results revealed that teachers with a high level of self-efficacy and more coping resources reported suffering less stress and burnout than teachers with a low level of self-efficacy and fewer coping resources, and vice versa. (Contains 1 figure and 6 tables.)
