Abstract

Teachers’ responsibilities are becoming increasingly challenging and demanding. This cross-sectional survey examined the demographic predictors of occupational stress and exposure to workplace psychosocial hazards among 254 primary school teachers. Two measurement tools were used to assess work-related stress and attendant psychosocial risks. Descriptive statistics and bivariate correlation analysis were employed to analyze the demographic characteristics of the participants and explore the relationships between these demographic factors, work-related stress, and psychosocial risks. The findings revealed a strong positive association between gender and teachers’ occupational stress. Additionally, working status, gender, and location showed a positive correlation with increased exposure to occupational psychosocial hazards among primary school teachers. Conversely, qualifications exhibited a negative and significant association with teachers’ exposure to psychosocial hazards at work. In conclusion, this study highlights a substantial increase in occupational stress for primary school teachers as they age and become more qualified. These findings suggest the need for educational policymakers in Nigerian school settings to address age, location, and working status discrimination to improve teachers’ well-being.

Abstract

It is quite unfortunate that workers in developing countries experience job dissatisfaction accruing from hazardous work settings. These seemed to have posed mental and physiological stress on individuals, leading to unwholesome and unethical practices. Given these worrisome situations, this study investigated the relationship between psychosocial work hazards on work-related burnout and organizational deviance among primary school teachers. In pursuance of this aim, two research questions and hypotheses guided this study. A correlation design was employed in this study. A total of 254 primary school teachers participated in the study. Three scales that measured psychosocial work hazards, work-related burnout, and organizational deviance were used in assessing the participants. Pearson product-moment correlation and Linear regression statistics were used to analyze the research questions and hypotheses. The correlation analysis results revealed that psychosocial work hazards are associated with work-related burnout and organizational deviance among primary school teachers. Also, the results showed that psychosocial work hazards have a significant influence on work-related burnout and organizational deviance among primary school teachers. Practice implications for sustainable development were highlighted.
