  • Työn muokkaamisen yhteys rehtoreiden työintoon ja työuupumukseen 
    Allemand, Lotta (2020)
    Aims. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine whether four types of job crafting behaviour (increasing social job resources, increasing structural job resources, increasing challenging job demands and decreasing hindering job demands) were associated with work engagement and burnout among Finnish principals. Based on the Job Demands−Resources model and previous empirical studies in job crafting it was hypothesised that increasing social and structural job resources and increasing challenging job demands would be positively associated with work engagement and negatively associated with burnout. It was also hypothesised that decreasing hindering job demands would be negatively associated with work engagement and positively associated with burnout. Methods. Research data was gathered as a part of a wider international Principal Health and Wellbeing -research project. The data was collected by sending a questionnaire to all 1 200 members of the Finnish Principals’ Association. Altogether 564 principals completed the questionnaire. The participants filled in the questionnaire on their job crafting behaviour, work engagement and burnout symptoms. The data was analysed using regression analysis. Results and conclusion. The results of the regression analyses showed that increasing structural job resources and increasing challenging job demands were positively associated with work engagement. The results also showed that decreasing hindering job demands were positively associated with burnout and increasing social job resources were negatively associated with burnout. However, a closer look at the three different dimensions of burnout showed that job crafting behaviour didn’t correlated with the exhaustion, the core component of burnout. However, increasing structural job resources were negatively associated with cynicism and increasing social job resources were negatively associated with both cynicism and feelings of inadequacy. Decreasing hindering job demands were positively associated with both cynicism and feelings of inadequacy. Job crafting dimensions accounted for 19 % of the variance in work engagement and 4,4 % of the variance in burnout. By crafting their jobs, principals have the opportunity to influence their own well-being at work.
  • Työn stressitekijöiden ja työuupumuksen suhde perusopetuksen opettajien alanvaihtoaikeisiin 
    Taipale, Maaria (2024)
    Objectives. Teachers' well-being at work has been on the surface for a long time globally and in Finland. Research on teacher turnover and turnover intentions has increased in Finland over the past decade. According to previous research, workload causes burnout and the desire to change career fields. Based on previous research, burnout is linked to turnover intentions and concrete career transfers. Social support has been found to have a buffering effect on the link between stress and exhaustion. Social support has also been found to have direct effect on work stress and job burnout. The purpose of this thesis was to provide new statistical information of the relationship between work stressors, job burnout and turnover intentions on Finnish primary education teachers. This thesis examined the effect of teachers' work stressors on turnover intentions both directly and indirectly through job burnout. It was also examined whether the rector´s social support moderated the relationship between work stressors and job burnout. Methods. The research data consisted of Finnish basic education teachers (N=675) working in grades 1–9. The teachers worked as class-, special education- and subject teachers as well as study advisors. Burnout was measured using BBI9 indicator and social support provided by the rector using COPSOQ Social Support from Supervisor indicator. Work stressors was measured using questions about sources of work stress, and turnover intentions were measured by asking about intentions to transfer to other work tasks. The connections between the variables were examined using structural equation modelling. Mediation analysis was used to test whether burnout mediated the impact of work stressors on turnover intentions. Multiple group modelling was used to examine whether the principal´s social support moderated the relationship between work stressors and job burnout. Results and conclusions. This study found that increasing stressors in the work of primary school teachers increase burnout. Job burnout fully mediated the impact of work stressors on turnover intentions and the social support provided by the rector did not moderate the link between work stressors and job burnout. However, the rector´s social support had a direct effect on primary education teachers´ work stressors, job burnout and turnover intentions. Rector´s social support affects teachers work-related well-being directly by those variables, but this study didn´t find its buffering effect on job burnout. Teachers need support early when work is getting hard because support lowers work stressors and burnout.
