Objetivo: Identificar e analisar a influência que os níveis de demanda, controle e suporte exercem sobre o estresse autorrelatado pelos docentes dos cursos de Ciências Contábeis das Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) do Brasil.Método: Utilizou-se de um survey com questões relativas à condição biopsicossocial dos 614 professores participantes, sobre a percepção de estresse destes com o Teacher Stress Inventory, e de demanda, controle e suporte emocional com o Job Demand-Control-Support. Resultados: O suporte e o controle contribuem, de forma significativa (p<0,01), para diminuir o estresse percebido pelos professores. Contudo, as demandas presentes nas IES contribuem para majorar (p<0,01) o estresse. Foi apurado, também, que a idade, a percepção positiva sobre o estado de saúde mental e a satisfação geral com a profissão e com os próprios alunos são fatores capazes de modular, negativamente, o estresse do professor (p<0,01). Porém, ser mulher, lecionar pela manhã e ser professor em uma IES pública aumentam a percepção de estresse dos respondentes (p<0,01). Contribuições: Considerando que a capacidade de adaptação das pessoas é limitada, este trabalho permite descortinar as circunstâncias que podem agravar os efeitos causados pelo estresse, tendo em vista o acréscimo de demandas físicas e emocionais, resultando, inclusive, em doenças psicossomáticas. Palavras-chaves: Ensino superior; Estresse; Docência; Saúde mental; Ciências Contábeis.

The internal consistency, split-half, and test-retest reliabilities of the Teacher Stress Inventory were based on responses of twice tested sample of 49 teachers. Alpha estimates ranged .77 to .90 for the subscales, .91 to .94 for the whole scale, and .83 to .88 for the short forms. Split-half reliabilities in the mid-90s show a strong relationship between the short forms. Test-retest reliabilities ranged .27 to .99 for the subscales and .78 to .98 for the whole scale, indicating stability for the stress factors across 2-hr., 1-day, 1-wk., and 2-wk. intervals.

This study investigated (a) the structural and measurement equivalence of measures of the job demand-control (JDC) model of job strain for men and women (as operationalised by the Sources of Work Stress Inventory), (b) whether a common or separate regression equations should be used for men and women in the JDC model, and (c) the strain and buffer hypotheses associated with the JDC model. These objectives were pursued by means of factor analysis, item response theory analysis, and moderated hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The results show that the use of a common regression equation might give biased results. The results also provided stronger support for the strain hypothesis than for the buffer hypothesis. Opsomming Hierdie studie het ondersoek ingestel na (a) die strukturele en metingsekwivalensie van metings van die werkseisekontrole (WEK) model van werkspanning vir mans en vroue (soos geoperasionaliseer deur die Bronne van Werkstresinventaris), (b) die wenslikheid van ’n gemeenskaplike teenoor afsonderlike regressievergelykings vir mans en vroue, en (c) die spanning en buffer hipoteses wat met die WEK model geassossiëer word. Hierdie doelstellings is ondersoek aan die hand van faktorontleding, item responsteorie-ontleding en gemodereerde hiërargiese meervoudige regressie-ontleding. Die resultate wys dat die gebruik van ’n gemeenskaplike regressievergelyking sydige resultate mag oplewer. Die resultate toon verder sterker ondersteuning vir die spanning hipotese as vir die buffer hipotese.

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between professional isolation of teachers and their occupational stress. A systematic random sample of 1,110 teachers in Quebec were administered French Canadian versions of the UCLA Loneliness Scale and Teacher Stress Inventory. Analysis gave, as expected, a positive and significant correlation between isolation and occupational stress. This highlights the importance of looking for ways to reduce professional isolation of teachers.

The study analyzed on-the-job stress for a sample of 30 full-time university laboratory school teachers: 8 men, 19 women and 3 who did not report sex. A small number experienced a great deal of discomfort (stress) in performing their jobs. The strongest sources of stress identified by these teachers were not enough time for relaxation and preparation, personal life shortchanged, inadequate salary, and teaching poorly motivated students. Several aspects of the stress reported are discussed, and recommendations are made regarding research and methods to help teachers cope with stress.

The purpose of the study was to compare occupational stress levels of rural educators in the areas of mental retardation, learning disabilities, and emotional conflict. Occupational stress levels were measured by the Teacher Stress Inventory (Fimian, 1985), which was developed and validated for teachers of exceptional children. The sample consisted of 154 randomly selected and specifically selected rural special educators in the 21 rural counties with set defined parameters of a population of 50,000 or less. The Teacher Stress Inventory was designed to assess stress levels of special educators. Subscales of the Teacher Stress Inventory were personal/professional stressors, professional distress, discipline/motivation, emotional manifestations, biobehavloral manifestations, physiological/fatigue manifestations, and time management. The data were analyzed using the one-way analysis of variance and the multivariate analysis of variance procedures. No significant differences were evident between mean stress scores and mean subscale scores of the three Identified groups.
