Organizational Stress Among Teachers
Mots-clés :
teacher stress, workload, relationshipsRésumé
Quoique le concept de “stress” ait été longuement étudié dans la presse populaire, en recherche et en ateliers regroupant des enseignants, on n’a pas encore réussi à établir clairement les sources réelles du stress en milieu de travail parmi les enseignants canadiens. Le but principal de cette étude était d’obtenir des enseignants eux-mêmes leurs idées sur les sources du stress en milieu de travail et d’évaluer jusqu’à quel point ces sources étaient responsables de l’impression globale du stress dont souffrent les enseignants au travail. On a pu réussir cette étude en contrôlant certaines variables telles que le sexe, l’âge, le niveau d’instruction, la classe enseignée, le nombre d’années d’expérience dans l’enseignement et le niveau de stress perçu dans la vie non-professionnelle. Parmi les résultats importants, on a trouvé quatre facteurs reliés à l’emploi qui contribuent en grande partie au stress dont souffrent les enseignants. On a aussi remarqué que les variables n’avaient que peu d’influence sur les niveaux de stress en milieu enseignant. Les quatre facteurs les plus importants dans l’étude du stress étaient les suivants: importance du rôle, relations avec les étudiants, surcharge de travail, relations avec les collègues.
