“…This result is corroborated by Özdemir and Kerse's (2020) study, which elucidated that COVID-19 related job stress and emotional exhaustion are significantly associated. Furthermore, other studies have also noted that stress and emotional exhaustion are significantly associated with affecting work performance (Alonso et al, 2020) and professional efficacy (Marchand et al, 2018). Thus, the low-level COVID-19 related emotional exhaustion of teachers in this study, can be attributed to the low COVID-19 induced job stress level.…”

“…However, based on Table 2, male teachers have felt more emotionally exhausted than female teachers due to COVID -19. This result challenged the common findings of several studies showing that females tend to feel more emotionally exhausted than males (Alonso et al, 2020;Marchand et al, 2018;Palupi & Findyartini, 2019). A popular notion probably because male teachers do the heavy physical work at school carrying and delivering the learning modules to students.…”

Despite the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers continue to navigate the new normal in education which demonstrate their resilience. This descriptive correlational study determined the level of optimism, job stress, and emotional exhaustion of 150 teachers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and it analyzed the relationship among these three variables. The data were analyzed using weighted mean, standard deviation, and Pearson r. Results revealed resiliency among teachers amidst the pandemic with a high level of optimism and a relatively low COVID-19 induced job stress and emotional exhaustion level. This study has also shown that optimism is not correlated with job stress and emotional exhaustion, but it found out significant relationship between the last two variables. Generally, it can be concluded that teachers are highly optimistic amidst the pandemic. This paper also validates earlier claims that lower levels of job stress contribute to lower incidents of emotional exhaustion.

“…In addition, the stress has negative effects on many brain functions, such as memory [21], learning [22], and cognition [23]. The stress also negatively affects dynamic and static balance [24], skilled motor performance [25], and driving ability [26], furthers the development of tinnitus [27], and suppresses immune system functions, leading to the development of malignant tumors [28].…”

Biosignals in Human Factors Research for Heavy Equipment Operators: A Review of Available Methods and Their Feasibility in Laboratory and Ambulatory Studies

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Heavy equipment operation is a responsible and difficult task causing mental workload on a human operator and exposing the operator to a range of harmful factors. Human factors and ergonomics in heavy equipment design have traditionally been focused on anthropometry and questionnaires. More advanced techniques involving biosignal measurements were not applied to heavy equipment, mainly due to the diversity of real working conditions that were hard to reproduce in a laboratory environment and that prevented ambulatory studies. Recent advances in wearable biosensors and real-time simulators produce the capability of using biosignals for improving the ergonomics of heavy equipment operation. The present paper reviews the use of biosignals in human factors and the ergonomics of heavy machines by focusing on stress detection for the last ten years. The aim of the paper is analyzing the previous implemented algorithms to find a set of biosignals and methods of stress identification that could be suitable for identifying stress in heavy equipment operators both in laboratory and ambulatory studies. The conclusion emphasizes successful stress identification methods and a combination of the algorithms from different studies that facilitate the use of heavy equipment operator's applications. Also, feasible methods and directions for future research are considered.

“…According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work [ 29 ], work-related sources of stress are the second highest work-related health problem. In Spain, for example, a high number of workers consider that work stress is frequent and that their organizations do not manage it properly [ 30 ]. Moreover, during the pandemic, some argued that stress levels have been elevated to 24% [ 31 , 32 ].…”

Exploring High vs. Low Burnout amongst Public Sector Educators: COVID-19 Antecedents and Profiles

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a prolonged impact on many people working in different sectors. This paper focuses on the psychological stress consequences of professionals working in the educational sector in Andalucía (Spain). Using a sample of 340 educators, this empirical paper identifies the antecedents and profiles of those that ended up with burnout vs. those that were able to develop resilience. Results from OLS regressions show that regardless of the origins of stress, the principal determinant of burnout is clearly a lack of support and a perception of an inability to control a situation. Furthermore, results also show that working sources have a higher impact on the configuration of high burnout, while family sources harm those who are more resilient (low burnout).
