This study focused on the relationship between teacher stress and burnout and the leadership styles of elementary school principals as perceived by elementary school teachers. The topic of stress is one that has been ongoing for hundreds of years but the teaching profession has seen an increase in this condition over the past four decades. Teacher stress and burnout is a condition that can impact teacher health, job retention, teaching performance, and beyond. Therefore, this topic is important as the findings could serve to help minimize this condition. It could also inform educational leaders about leadership styles and their relation to stress and burnout. Sosik and Godshalk's (2000) model of leadership style, mentoring functions received, and job related stress, was the theoretical framework that guided this study. The Pearson Product-Moment Correlation was used to analyze statistical data via the Maslach Burnout Inventory: Educator's Survey (MBI) and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire - Form 5X - Rater Form (MLQ). The results of this study revealed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the leadership styles of elementary school principals and teacher stress and burnout, which aligned with the majority of the literature on this topic.
This booklet presents articles that deal with identifying signs of stress and methods of reducing work-related stressors. An introductory article gives a summary of the causes, consequences, and cures of teacher stress and burnout. In articles on recognizing signs of stress, "Type A" and "Type B" personalities are examined, with implications for stressful behavior related to each type, and a case history of a teacher who was beaten by a student is given. Methods of overcoming job-related stress are suggested in eight articles: (1) "How Some Teachers Avoid Burnout"; (2) "The Nibble Method of Overcoming Stress"; (3) "Twenty Ways I Save Time"; (4) "How To Bring Forth The Relaxation Response"; (5) "How To Draw Vitality From Stress"; (6) "Six Steps to a Positive Addiction"; (7)"Positive Denial: The Case For Not Facing Reality"; and (8) "Conquering Common Stressors". A workshop guide is offered for reducing and preventing teacher burnout by establishing support groups, reducing stressors, changing perceptions of stressors, and improving coping abilities. Workshop roles of initiator, facilitator, and members are discussed. An annotated bibliography of twelve books about stress is included. (FG)
A quantitative research study was conducted to examine the relationships that exist between locus of control and leader-member exchange (LMX) as predictor variables for stress and burnout in the workforce. Previous research has shown that the quality of LMX relationships may influence stress levels of direct reports. Research has also attempted to link locus of control and burnout. The present study intends to further substantiate the previous findings, while also analyzing the effects that interactions between locus of control and LMX have on predicting stress and burnout. Data were collected from two separate samples. One sample consisted of 226 full-time workers who belong to the primary researcher's social and professional networks. Another sample consisted of 260 full-time employees obtained through the crowdsourcing repository, Amazon Mechanical Turk. Participants completed the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), the job-induced tension scale, the Leader-Member Exchange Seven (LMX7), and the Internal-External (IE) Scale. The results of the correlation and regression analyses varied from one sample to the next. There is evidence to suppose that under certain conditions, locus of control and LMX do influence stress and burnout within the workforce. The analyses of variance demonstrate that both employees with an external locus of control and direct reports who reside in the LMX out-group are more likely to report the highest levels of stress and burnout within the workplace.
