An Empirical Study of the Impact of Work Stress on Work Performance of University Teachers: a Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis

Abstract

With the reform of the teacher performance management system in many colleges and universities in China, the pressure of college teachers has invariably increased, and it has become a hot topic to explore in depth the causes of work stress and the relationship between work stress and work performance of college teachers. This study randomly selects university teachers from different regions as research samples, and uses empirical research methods to analyse the causes of work stress and work performance of university teachers. This paper finds that the work stress of university teachers is high, and aspects such as heavy workload, high pressure on career development and insufficient job security make university teachers feel more pressure. Based on the analysis results, this paper proposes countermeasures for stress management of university teachers.
