“…The results confirm hypothesis 2. On the other hand, the results of this study show that there is no significant relationship between personal resources (PsyCap) and job demands (workload), which coincides with previous research [58,59]. Other studies have shown the mediation role of personal resources on the relationship between workload and burnout in specific simples (nurses, policies) [60], which it could be considered to future research.…”

Research on burnout has traditionally focused on job demands, with less attention paid to protective factors. From the emerging and innovative area of psychology of sustainability and sustainable development, this study aimed to analyze the relationship that job demands (workload), and personal resources (psychological capital) have with burnout. The sample includes 517 workers from various professional sectors. Results of the structural equation analysis show that (1) psychological capital and workload are related to burnout, and (2) personal accomplishment is more a personal resource than burnout dimension. The results confirm the role of psychological capital as a protective factor for burnout. Finally, the importance of examining the relationship between the components of psychological capital, personal accomplishment, and positive emotions is pointed out due to the importance of organizations promoting the development of psychological strengths and resources to promote well-being and sustainable working conditions.

“…Yet in another study, Antoniou et al (2013) in Greece showed that rational coping behaviours and one's personality are a resource which help teachers to overcome work related stressors and burnout and achieve their valued outcomes with the students, while avoidance coping predicted a secondary level of stress and burn out. Similarly, Chiorri et al (2015) study in Turkey indicated that all Type B personality trait except extraversion significantly interacted at least with one workload source.…”

The study investigated the Relationship between Type B Personality Trait and Stress Management among Secondary School Principals in Kenya. Kelly's personal construct theory supported by Carl Rogers Person Centred theory informed the study. The study adopted a Convergent Parallel research design within the Mixed Method approach. From a population of 295 principals, the study sample size was 169 principals obtained using stratified random sampling. Quantitative data was collected using Personality Questionnaire and Stress Management Questionnaire while an interview schedule was used to collect qualitative data from twenty (20) principals. Validity of the research instrument was ensured through expert judgement by the University lecturers. The reliability of the research instruments was determined by the use of Cronbach's Alpha and a coefficient (r= 0.814) was obtained. The quantitative data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) windows version 22 as well as Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient while qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The study established a positive relationship between Type B personality trait and stress management (r= .620). Qualitative results revealed that most principals used multi-tasking to manage and accomplish their tasks thus reducing their stress. It is envisaged that this study would provide valuable information to the secondary school principals on how to overcome stressful situations within their schools. The study recommends that the Ministry of Education should induct newly appointed principals on how to enhance their intrapersonal traits; this would help them understand how to manage stressful situations in their schools.

“…For example, a recent study has found that the character strength as personality trait can be improved through training of employees to mitigate the negative work related behaviours (Harzer & Ruch, 2015). The work load sources and perceived workload can be moderated by personality traits (Chiorri, Garbarino, Bracco, & Magnavita, 2015). The leadership personality traits (neuroticism and conscientiousness) among mangers or the individuals having leadership role in any working environment can infuse stress among subordinates (Robertson , Healey, Hodgkinson, Flint-Taylor, & Jones, 2014).…”
