Relations between School Type, Occupational Stress, Role Perceptions and Social Support.

Pierce, C. Mark B.; Molloy, Geoffrey N.

Australian Journal of Education, v34 n3 p330-38 Nov 1990

This study of 750 teachers in 16 Australian secondary schools found that teachers working in different types of schools (government, nongovernment, low socioeconomic, or high socioeconomic) reported different levels of occupational stress. The salience of perceived stressors, levels of role conflict, role ambiguity, and social support differed according to school type. (Author/DB)
