AbstractTeaching is one of the most stressful occupations. This study explores how teachers’ psychological capital — a combination of hope, resilience, optimism and self-efficacy — is related to stress, wellbeing, appraisal and coping. Teachers (n = 1502) across New Zealand and from a range of teaching levels completed surveys. Participants with more psychological capital reported less stress and more wellbeing, saw work demands more as challenges than threats, and reported using more task-focused and less emotion-focused coping strategies. Psychological capital appeared to be directly related to increased wellbeing and reduced stress. Given the importance of teacher wellbeing for the profession and for students, we need ways to build teachers’ personal resources and, importantly, to ensure that teaching environments support wellbeing.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to test the hypothesized relationships between job demands, job resources and personal resources toward work engagement, by utilizing a cross section of Thai employees.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, a group of employees (n=416) responded to a set of self-report surveys on job demands, job resources, personal resources and work engagement.FindingsThe results of the hierarchical regression analysis supported the relationships between job demands (i.e. workload and role conflict), job resources, personal resources (self-efficacy) and work engagement. In addition, the results supported the role of (positive) self-esteem as moderator in the role ambiguity and work engagement relationship, and the role of self-efficacy in buffering the effect of role conflict and workload on work engagement. The final model explained 43 percent of the variance in the dependent variable.Research limitations/implicationsThis study will help managers in understanding employee expectations and providing appropriate feedback. Devising effective jobs, which lead to perceptions of meaningfulness, safety and availability leading to improved engagement.Originality/valueThis is the first study employing the job demands resources model in a cross-sectional study in Thailand.

Many psychological constructs as personality, perfectionism, and self-efficacy have been identified to have a strong contribution to teachers’ coping strategies, but how these variables collectively predict different types of coping has received little attention. The present study aimed to explore the personal resources (personality traits, perfectionistic strivings, and self-efficacy) which predict teachers’ proactive coping strategies. The sample study consisted of 284 pre-service teachers, with ages ranging from 18 to 34years old (M=19.9; SD=2.1). Four hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted separately for every proactive coping strategy based on personal resources as criterion variables. Results showed that conscientiousness and openness were predictors for all four coping strategies based on personal resources (proactive, reflective, strategic planning, and preventive coping), extraversion and neuroticism predicted only proactive coping strategies, and agreeableness did not predict any kind of these coping strategies. Planfulness was a predictor for reflective, strategic planning, and preventive coping strategies; striving for excellence predicted only proactive coping, and organization was a predictor only for reflective coping strategies. Self-efficacy predicted the first three proactive coping strategies but preventive coping. Because coping strategies can be learned, knowing what personal resources may help teachers to cope with stressful situations inside and outside the school, could be organized training programs to improve activity and well-being in the teaching profession.

Uzimajući u obzir osobne i okolinske prepreke, osobe sa stečenim fizičkim teškoćama prolaze kroz mnoge stresne situacije. U radu se ispituju strategije suočavanja koje rabe studenti s tjelesnim teškoćama. Cilj je ispitati korelaciju između uvjerenja o sebi i svijetu (samopoštovanje, samopouzdanje i nadanje) i strategija suočavanja kod studenata s fizičkim teškoćama. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 111 studenata sa stečenim fizičkim teškoćama uključujući ozljede kralježnične moždine i različite druge teškoće s kralježnicom. Provedeno je kvantitativno, transverzalno istraživanje i primijenjene su poljske inačice sljedećih instrumenata: Coping Orientations to Problems Experienced (COPE) (Wrześniewski, 1996), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES) (Dzwonkowska et al., 2008), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES, Schwarzer, Jeruzalem) (Juczyński, 2001), Basic Hope Inventory (BHI) (Trzebiński and Zięba, 2003b). Provedene su analize deskriptivne statistike, korelacije (Pearsonov koeficijent korelacije) i regresijska analiza. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da uvjerenja o sebi i svijetu imaju prediktivnu funkciju u objašnjavanju strategija suočavanja koje rabe studenti s fizičkim teškoćama. Također otkriveno je da uvjerenja kao što su samopoštovanje, samopouzdanje i nadanje pomažu u objašnjavanju variranja pojedinačnih strategija suočavanja, s obzirom na intenzitet i prirodu korelacije. Konačno, nizak postotak objašnjene varijance strategija suočavanja kod studenata s fizičkim teškoćama upućuje na važnost drugih varijabli koje nisu uključene u ovo istraživanje. Rezultati se promatraju u kontekstu prethodnih istraživanja.
