Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the risk factors affecting stress and burnout among teachers after the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand. The sample comprised 400 school teachers in the municipality of Chonburi province. The results found that the factors affecting stress were working more than 8 hours per day (2.03; 95%CI, 1.01-4.09), and being sick but having to come to work (2.30; 95%CI, 1.12-4.70). Factors affecting teacher burnout in the emotional exhaustion dimension were having frequent or almost constant time pressure (2.57; 95%CI, 1.92-6.73), a low level of job satisfaction (4.00; 95%CI, 1.55-10.34), and a low level of their own ability to work (2.57; 95%CI, 1.92-7.17). Factors affecting the cynicism dimension were having daily conflicts at work or having a moderate to high level of work-related problems (5.55; 95%CI, 1.71-18.04), and a low level of their own ability to work (3.40; 95%CI, 1.41-8.17). It is recommended that the schools' personnel development department allocate work to suit the needs and expertise of teachers so that they can work to their full potential.
