“…males burn-out more rapidly in work situations which require narrowly defined masculine traits such as physical power, determination, persistence or emotional continence. Meanwhile, females are more sensitive to stress in such work situations which require them to demonstrate empathy, teaching skills or obedience 31) . As the relationship of gender and burnout is not interpreted straightforwardly, further research into coach gender are promising and important.…”

Burnout and Perceived Stress among University Coaches in Lithuania: Romualdas MALINAUSKAS, et al. Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education, Lithuania-Objective: To investigate the associations between burnout, gender, working experience and perceived stress among university coaches in Lithuania. Methods: A random sample of university coaches (N=203) was investigated (136 male and 67 female coaches; 131 coaches, with 10 yr or more work experience, and 72 coaches with less than 10 yr job experience). Two questionnaires-the Coach Burnout Questionnaire (CBQ) and Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10)-were used. The statistical hypotheses were tested by the independent samples t-test and binary logistic regression analysis. Results: Statistically significant differences at the 0.01 level for burnout among coaches with 10 yr or more (burnout average score and standard deviation 2.28 ± 0.42), and coaches, who less than 10 yr job experience (1.97 ± 0.35) were found. No differences were observed between males and females with regard to burnout. The odds ratio (OR) of perceived stress for burnout was 1.92; 95% CI 1.01-3.64. Conclusions: Significant association between burnout and job experience of 10 yr or more as compared to less than 10 yr among the university coaches was observed. High levels of perceived stress among university coaches are significantly related to burnout. (J Occup Health 2010; 52: 302-307)

No differences in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were found among the occupations.…”

“…Similar to their counterparts in the Western countries, teachers in Hong Kong are thus facing increasingly stressful working conditions with large classes, lack of educational resources, and little reward for their work. Indeed, local researchers have found that teachers had the lowest level of personal accomplishment and satisfaction at work as compared to nurses and police of®cers (Tang and Lau, 1996). Teachers in Hong Kong also suffer from poor physical and mental health as a result of job stress, and increasing incidents of attempted suicide among teachers have been reported (Chan, 1998;Hui and Chan, 1996).…”

SummaryThis study examined the mental health outcomes of job stress among Chinese teachers in Hong Kong. A total of 269 Chinese teachers participated in Study 1 which provided crosssectional data regarding the associations among stress resource factors, burnout, and negative mental health. Study 2 was a six-month longitudinal study which aimed to establish the direction of the associations among the hypothesized variables across two time points with a separate sample of 61 Chinese secondary school teachers. Results of the structural equation modelling analyses on the cross-sectional data at T1 showed that stress resource factors of self-ef®cacy and proactive attitude were negatively related to burnout, which in turn had a direct effect on negative mental health. Stress resource factors were also directly linked to mental health status of teachers. Results of similar analyses on the longitudinal data at T2 further indicated that burnout at T1 had a direct impact on burnout at T2, which in turn had a direct effect on negative mental health at T2. Findings and limitations of the study were discussed.
