The level of occupational burnout (OB) and job satisfaction (JS) was investigated in primary school teachers (n = 125) in the region of Epirus in Northwestern Greece. Teachers exhibited a high level of emotional exhaustion (EE), a medium level of depersonalization (DP), and a lack of personal accomplishment (PA). In our study, EE, which is a significant component of OB, varied according to intrinsic and extrinsic JS parameters. Teachers were less satisfied and more stressed with extrinsic job characteristics of their job, such as working conditions and working hours. Female teachers were more likely to exhibit increased satisfaction from intrinsic job characteristics, whereas male teachers were more likely to exhibit increased emotional exhaustion and lack of personal accomplishment. Job satisfaction had a significant negative impact on emotional exhaustion. Job satisfaction accounted (EE = 47.173 − 3.527*JS) for 35.1% of the total variation in the dependent variation of EE (F(1124) = 66.094, p < 0.001), indicating that job satisfaction had a significant negative effect on EE, such that an additional unit in job satisfaction will lower EE by 3.527. A Pearson correlation analysis revealed that age correlated negatively with emotional exhaustion (r = −0.204, p = 0.023). Proactive human resources policies may be required to protect the newly hired and less experienced teachers from exposure to stressful working conditions.

“…The recently implemented legislative initiatives for parental involvement in Greece create unprecedented opportunity for parents, Principals and teachers to build school-family partnership and collaboration. Unfortunately, efforts to improve parents-school communication and collaboration may have been hindered by the country's economic problems, characterized by teachers' relocations after school closures, employment freezes, rising number of teachers' retirements, increased size of classrooms and the simultaneous decrease in the number of seasonally employed teachers [33,39,40], reduction in the teaching workforce in Greece [34]. Under such conditions, teachers may be working with increased workload and have limited time for collaborating with parents coupled with limited funding, partly leading to a parallel education system being set up.…”

The objective of the present study was to investigate parents’, teachers’ and principals’ views on parental involvement (PI) in Secondary Education Schools in Greece. The research was based on a survey among parents (n = 54), teachers (n = 84) and principals (n = 12) in twelve Secondary Education Schools in Magnesia Region in central East Greece. Different views between each group were exhibited on PI in educational issues, decision making or creating links and communication between the school and the local community. Teachers expressed the view that workload and parental attitudes are factors which discourage parental involvement in their school units. Parents felt that teachers’ professionalism, lack of teachers’ training on parental involvement and parents who hesitate talking to teachers were significant barriers for PI in their school units. School principals agreed with parents and teachers on the barriers established due to teachers’ professionalism and parents’ hesitation in talking to teachers as significant factors which discourage PI in their school units. Contrarily to teachers’ views, school principals expressed their willingness to increase PI in teachers’ and school evaluation. School leaders should explore the possibility of organising meetings with teachers and parents to reduce barriers and misconceptions, paving the way for communication between the school unit and parents, increasing the positive outcomes of PI in school management and students’ success.

A survey of production Managers in Greek fish farms was used to evaluate their level of job satisfaction and factors affecting it. Production Managers in Greek Fish farms exhibited high level of job satisfaction with more than 44% of them exhibiting job satisfaction levels >70. The majority (77.7%) of the sample had age>30 and 44% of them had postgraduate qualifications. The length of service varied between 6 and 20 years with an average 13.72 years of service. The annual salary ranged between 22K and 38K with an average of 30,670 Euros. The perceived level of participation of the staff in the decision making process of the company was high with values ranging from 3 (a low degree of participation) to 7(high degree of participation). The results indicate that job satisfaction is mostly increased with increasing level of participation in the decision making, wages and age and less by the productivity of the fish farm. Interestingly, the data presented here, indicate a negative effect of the length of stay (Spearman"s correlation= -0.24, P<0.05) on job satisfaction. This is an alarming result, production managers may be experience difficulties in coping with the current difficult economic conditions that Greek fish farms are exposed to as a results of the financial crisis. Under these adverse economic conditions of Greece, several businesses including the fish farms reduced the volume of production, the number of their employees and the wages and bonuses.
