Stress Coping Strategies Vs Job Satisfaction - An Analytical Approach

Abstract: Locke (1976), defines job satisfaction as "a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job or job experiences". Job satisfaction is achieved and attained due to various contributory factors. When job generates salary and satisfaction, it also causes a lot of stress. No doubt, the present working population is undergoing a very high level of stress. Job stress differs across the various industries, differs according to individual jobs and the employee’s personal traits, etc. Managements are making earnest attempts to help workers manage and cope with their stress levels; sans stress a worker will become complacent and unproductive, researchers say… experts argue that an optimum level of stress is not harmful, rather necessary to help the worker stay in the rat race. Employees on their own are also resourcefully finding means to manage their stress, all said and done, when burnt out they automatically devise ways to cope up with stress through various strategies. It is interesting to note the relationship that exists between the two important facets of the human resource in any industry: Job satisfaction, factors providing the satisfaction to the worker on one side and the stress that the worker undergoes, the stress coping techniques and strategies that he employs … on the other, the complex and multidimensional relationship between the two – the following paper is an endeavor to critically inspect, investigate and interpret the rapport between the two, viz, Job Satisfaction and Stress coping strategies in the BPO Industry in Puducherry.

Predictors of job satisfaction among German teachers during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

Abstract: Abstract Background To contribute the containment of the infections during the SARS-COV-2 pandemic, changes in working conditions occurred worldwide. In the school context, teaching was changed several times to distance learning and teachers were forced to work from home. This increasing spatial separation between work and private life increased the potential for conflicts. Based on the theoretical assumption that stressors worsen job satisfaction and resources increase satisfaction, the aim of our study was to identify the predictors of teachers’ job satisfaction during the pandemic. The focus on job satisfaction is interesting because the concept is often related to health-related aspects from a public health perspective. Methods A nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted among German teachers in March 2021. After data cleaning, 31,089 participants were included in the analyses. The survey consisted of established instruments (e.g., COPSOQ) and self-developed items if necessary. A multiple linear regression was performed to predict teachers’ job satisfaction by stepwise inclusion of sociodemographic, work-related and covid-specific variables. Results Overall, the regression revealed that especially work-related variables were strong predictors of job satisfaction. The analyses showed that higher levels of meaning of work, autonomy and predictability of work increased job satisfaction. In contrast, increased emotional stress, feelings of unfair treatment, and work-privacy conflicts deteriorated job satisfaction. Conclusions The present study identified important predictors of job satisfaction which may be used to derive specific recommendations for improving teachers’ job satisfaction during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The relevance of job satisfaction for the scientific and public discourse becomes apparent because it was closely related to teachers’ somatic and mental health. Key messages • Teachers’ job satisfaction during the pandemic can be further improved by making appropriate adjustments, particularly in work-specific requirements. • Improving job satisfaction significantly contributes to promoting teachers’ health.
