“…A study conducted among Dutch teachers found a relationship between the validation of personal work with higher determination, flexibility and better results [ 24 ]. Meanwhile, an online survey of 1278 Canadian teachers seeking to understand the association between burnout and resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic found that family support, exercise, healthy eating and emotional self-care (such as meditation and mindfulness) were the most protective variables [ 25 ].…”

COVID-19 has presented a novel pedagogical challenge in dealing with the sudden shift from classic instruction to emergency remote teaching (ERT). It had an impact on the well-being and mental health of lecturers, increasing burnout risk. A cross-sectional, quantitative, qualitative and analytical online study was conducted to collect participants’ sociodemographic data, responses to ERT open-ended questions and mental health assessments using relevant instruments (CBI for burnout, Resilience Scale, DASS for depression, anxiety and stress, SWLS for satisfaction with life). High personal burnout levels were found in 41.2% of participants, high work-related burnout in 37.3% and high student-related burnout in 15.7%. Satisfaction with life, sleep routine changes and stress were determinants for personal burnout; stress and resilience for work-related burnout; satisfaction of life and sleep routine changes for students-related burnout. Opportunities for pedagogical innovation were pointed out as the main advantages to ERT, while the main negative impacts were on practical lessons and social interaction. Students and lecturers’ safety and adequate institutional support might be insured, considering their expectations and needs, promoting mental health. Combining the advantages of online and traditional methods in a so-called “blended learning” approach, with close collaboration and communication between all those involved, appears to achieve better results.

“…In consequence, individuals are likely to experience positive outcomes such as work engagement. Van Wingerden and Poell (2019) argued that engaged employees craft their jobs to create a better suiting and more challenging work environment. Creating a resourceful and challenging work environment leads to positive outcomes such as resilience (Van Wingerden & Poell, 2019).…”

The study was designed to investigate empirically the predictive value of emotional intelligence and work engagement on nurses' resilience. Motivation for the study:The study was motivated by the fact that negative experiences or adversities kindle loss of resources for coping and adaptive functioning. Promoting positive states has the potential to motivate the building of resources that improve coping and adaptation. Research approach, design and method:The study utilised a cross-sectional quantitative survey using self-administered questionnaires. The sample comprised 252 nurses from the Mangaung Metropole, South Africa. The SmartPLS programme was used to analyse the data.Main findings: Emotional intelligence and work engagement had a statistically significant effect on resilience. Of great significance was the strong direct link between emotional intelligence and resilience. Practical or managerial implication:The healthcare sector needs to invest training in emotional intelligence and work engagement programmes for nurses as a way to improve their resilience; a coping strategy for the highly demanding and stressful work environments.Contribution: These findings contribute valuable new knowledge that can be applied in promoting and enhancing resilience of nurses in public hospitals.

“…When experiencing burnout, spiritual teachers may resort to their spiritual resources, which could be related to spiritual coping or meaning-making processes that help dissipate the burnout symptoms over time (Scherer et al 2016). A deep sense of meaning and purpose in life provided by teaching may enhance teachers' resilience and willingness to combat tough situations in the workplace and not resign from their job even despite adverse consequences of burnout (Van Wingerden and Poell 2019). Spirituality at work also helps create meaning and purpose in the work, promoting motivation and engagement (Fouché et al 2017;Van Wingerden and Van der Stoep 2018), in this way potentially mitigating the relationship between burnout and turnover intention.…”

The Buffering Effect of Spirituality at Work on the Mediated Relationship between Job Demands and Turnover Intention among Teachers

The purpose of this study was to examine whether spirituality at work moderates the direct and indirect (through burnout) effects of quantitative and emotional job demands on turnover intention among teachers. The sample consisted of 952 Polish primary and secondary school teachers. Burnout mediated the relationship between both types of job demands and turnover intention. In the model with quantitative job demands as an independent variable, spirituality at work moderated the second stage path of the indirect effect, i.e., the relationship between burnout and turnover intention (b = −0.022; SE = 0.004; p < 0.001; β = −0.14). In the model with emotional job demands as an independent variable, spirituality at work moderated the first and second stage paths of the indirect effect, i.e., the relationship between emotional job demands and burnout (b = −0.001; SE = 0.001; p = 0.032; β = −0.05) and the relationship between burnout and turnover intention (b = −0.020; SE = 0.004; p < 0.001; β = −0.14). In both models, the indirect effect of job demands on turnover intention through burnout weakened as spirituality at work increased. The results of the study support the inclusion of spirituality at work as a subcategory of personal resources in studies using the job demands-resources model.
