교육환경의 위험요소와 사회적 지지가 초등학교 교사의 심리적 소진에 미치는 영향 = Influence of Occupational Stress and Perceived Social Support on Elementary School Teachers Bumout in Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Burnout is one form of emotional strain that has been studied extensively in diverse occupational settings, particularly those in people-oriented, human service occupations, helping professions, or high touch fields. In the present study, we examined how occupational stress and perceived social support influence on the level of burnout in primary school teachers in Korea. Research participants were 96 teachers. The level of burnout was assessed by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Maslach & Jackson, 1986). Occupational stress was measured by the questionnaire developed by Jayaratne and Jackson(1981), and perceived social support from supervisors, colleagues, and family was assessed by the questionnaire developed by Caplan, Cobb, French, Harrison & Pinneau (1980). The level of burnout was predicted through a hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Within each block entered, a stepwise selection was utilized to obtain the most efficient model. Overall, occupational stress explained 12% of the variance of burnout. Specifically, excess in roles was found to be the most powerful contributors to the variance of burnout in counselors. Step 2 involved the entry of perceived social support from supervisors, colleagues, and family into the regression model as a group of predictors for the level of burnout. Perceived social support from family was found significant to explain an additional 7% of variance. The result indicated that social support significantly buffers the negative impact of work-related on burnout in teachers in Korea.
