Abstract:
This study explored the relationship between teacher job stress and job burnout using a sample of 558 primary and secondary school teachers, who were administered with a teacher job stress scale, teacher job burnout scale, work-family conflict questionnaire, and general self-efficacy scale. The results showed that: (1) job stress had a significant predictive effect on work-family conflict and job burnout; (2) work-family conflict played a mediating role in the relationship between job stress and job burnout; (3) self-efficacy was found to play a moderating role in work-family conflict and job burnout. However, this indirect effect was stronger for teachers with high self-efficacy, which means that the protective effects of self-efficacy were limited. These findings add to research on the relationship between teacher job stress and job burnout, and provide ideas for teachers to balance work-family relationships and reduce job burnout.
