The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI), generativity and self-efficacy, identifying different profiles of emotional intelligence. 834 secondary school teachers participated in the study by completing the Trait Meta-Mood Scale–24 (TMMS–24), the Loyola Generativity Scale and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Cluster analysis identified four EI profiles: the first with high scores in attention and low scores in repair, the second with high scores in all dimensions of EI, the third with low scores in all EI dimensions and a fourth profile with low scores in attention and high scores in repair. Results showed significant statistical differences between the EI profiles found and the different dimensions of generativity and self-efficacy. Logistic regression analysis showed that EI was a statistically significant predictor of generativity, since teachers with high EI scores were more likely to present high scores in positive generativity and self-efficacy and lower probability of presenting high scores in generative doubts.

Student misbehaviour is an increasing problem of contemporary school. The aim of this research was to examine the extent to which teachers perceive student misbehaviour, how self-efficient they are, how satisfied they feel with support from their environment and with the teaching job itself, and to which extent they experience the burnout syndrome. The research included 603 primary and secondary school teachers in the Republic of Croatia, and it found quite low, but significant negative correlations between student misbehaviour and teachers’ self-efficacy, personal accomplishment, and job satisfaction. Besides, positive correlations between student misbehaviour and teacher burnout were also proven. Statistically significant differences between primary and secondary school teachers were found in their experience of student misbehaviour, dealing with adversities related to student misbehaviour and provided support from expert associates. The results of regression analysis indicate that the overall misbehaviour and satisfaction with help from parents significantly contribute to satisfaction with the teaching profession, and emotional exhaustion and depersonalization lead to decrease of job satisfaction. The results also indicate that demographic characteristics, namely years in service and the type of school, do not contribute to the explanation of neither burnout nor job satisfaction. The implications applicable in practice could relate to the need for preventing student misbehaviour and empowering teachers, regardless of their in-service years and the type of school they work at. Keywords: burnout, classroom management, job satisfaction, quantitative methodology, self-efficacy

The present study aims to identify the informative clinical and psychological variables for assessing the risk of emotional burnout syndrome among secondary school teachers. The relevance of the discussed issues is justified by statistical data of burnout among teachers and its consequences. Eighty-two teachers of secondary schools in Moscow, Chekhov and Saratov aged 21 to 66 years (average age of the group 46.81 ± 10.19) took part in the study. The diagnostic complex included methods for assessing the degree of emotional burnout; revealing the manifestations of stress; determining the features of emotional intelligence; analysis of empathic tendencies; self-assessment of the level of ontogenetic reflection; as well as determining indicators of a symptomatic response to stressful situations. The prognostic value of the indicators of the following questionnaires was revealed: Test for occupational stress, Symptomatic questionnaire SCL-90-R, Comprehensive assessment of manifestations of stress Yu.V. Shcherbatykh, D.V. Lyusin Emotional Intelligence Test, Self-assessment of the level of ontogenetic reflection. It was concluded that when assessing the psychological state of the teacher, it is necessary to pay attention to the indicators reflecting the symptomatology and intensity of experienced distress; emotional experiences corresponding to negative affective states. It is also necessary to take into account indicators reflecting the level of professional stress and the ability to analyze one’s past experience in terms of its success/failure. The combination of high scores on the scales “general index of severity of symptoms” and “self-assessment of the level of ontogenetic reflection” indicate the risk of developing burnout syndrome in teachers. In addition, the risk of emotional burnout can be talked about when, according to the results of psychodiagnostic examination, high scores are found on the scales “general index of severity of symptoms”, “occupational stress” and low scores on the scale “hostility”.
