FACTORS RELATED TO TEACHER’S STRESS OF PRE-UNIVERSITY EDUCATION

Abstract

Stress is a phenomen on that day by day is affecting the societies of all developed and developing countries.This is one of the most frequently used words since many people are facing every day with different loads, such in their jobs, in traffic, at home, and other places, and which loads sometimes become unmanageable. Constant and high intensity load and pressure give stress, which affects the quality of life and the results at work. So stressful situations, or stresors that give stress, are many, and we can find them in almost all areas where we live, but among the places, that stress is almost constant is the working place.Work can be a source of life satisfaction and self-esteem, but it can also be a source of great stress. Job stress depends on the fit of the worker to the position. Some people thrive in a high-stress, busy environment, whereas others feel overwhelmed. However, some situations are stressful for almost everybody, such as feeling as if your job is at risk or as if you can’t trust your bosses and colleagues. (Greenberg, M. 2016).Work stress exists when people perceive that they have difficulty in coping with the demands relating to work and that their sense of well-being is being threatened. (Kahatano, F. F. 2015). Occupational stress has negative effects on both the organisation and individuals employed by the organisation. In the organisation it can result in high levels of absenteeism, reduced productivity and compromised levels of patient care. (Gam, P. N., 2015) It is clear that there is stress on most of the employees in Kosovo, ann meanwhile it is indisputable, only differentiates the intensity of experienced stress. And from the stress situations could not escape even the teachers who face difficulties in their work. Teachers, in addition to the obligations they have with their students at school, sometimes have disagreement with colleagues, school principal, or other family problems that are not related to the teaching process but affect the teaching process. So the teachers, having a lot of problems and vicissitudes, feel the stress. The purpose of studying this topic is to find the factors that influence the cause of the teacher's stress. Empirical results showed that there are differences in the level of stress among elementary and lower secondary teachers and uppersecondary school teachers, whereas theuppersecondary school teachers have higher levels of stres, where the value of F=3.378 and p=0.036<0.05.Based on empirical results, it can be concluded that uppersecondary school teachers experience more stress than primary and lower secondary teachers. Regarding the level of stress, to female and masculine teachers, the value of sig. for equal variances assumed, p=0.04<0.05, whereas for the same variances not assumed, p=0.039<0.05. Both values indicate that there are statistically significant differences between female and male gender teachers regarding the level of stress at work. The results showed that most of the factors related to the workplace are related to the teachers’ stress.
