“…For instance, as the usual primary caregivers in their families, women teachers may face unique challenges related to their work-life balance. Adding these challenges to social expectations and gender roles might increase the stress that women teachers must deal with, making them potential candidates for burnout (Wei & Ye, 2022). Alternatively, Zhang et al (2022) suggested that, compared with men teachers, women teachers may look more favorably on the school's culture and manage their emotions more proactively to maintain their relationships in the school, work collaboratively with others and actively seek consensus in the school.…”

Psychological burnout is strongly associated with negative effects on people’s life, including their emotional well-being and physical health. Due to prolonged periods of stress, heavy workloads, limited resources and time constraints, teachers are prone to burnout, leading to aversive, prolonged consequences. While previous studies have investigated various factors associated with their burnout, we explored the association between teachers’ relational and personal variables, applying a cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 248 Israeli teachers (85.1% worked in educational settings for typically developing children, 52.4% were employed in high schools), who completed the following questionnaires: Teachers’ burnout, Perceived social support, Gratitude, Hope, Active entitlement and Loneliness. Results demonstrated negative links between burnout and social support, gratitude and hope as well as a positive link with loneliness. A serial multiple mediation revealed that, whereas social support and hope were associated with lower levels of burnout, feelings of loneliness and a sense of entitlement were related to higher levels of it. Furthermore, gratitude, hope, a sense of entitlement, and loneliness linked social support with burnout. We concluded with a discussion of the implications for future research, theory, and interventions.

The study adopted the Multidimensional Theory of burnout by Christina Maslach (1946). The study used embedded research design in the mixed method and phenomenological approach. The target population included all universities, all lecturers, and all counselors. Simple random sampling was used to select 2 public universities and Purposive sampling was used to sample 1 private university. Simple random sampling technique was used to sample 178 lecturers. Three counselors were sampled using purposive sampling from the sampled universities. Qualitative research was analyzed in theme derived from the research questions while quantitative data was coded and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science Version 26.0.using descriptive statistics and presented using frequencies and percentages. The hypotheses were tested using linear and multiple regressions. Findings on the hypotheses established that emotional exhaustion, F (1, 95) = 4.435, p =0.038, had statistically significant relationship with the delivery of professional functions.

COVID-19 is reshaping the relationship between humans and their living environment, potentially generating a profound impact on human physical and mental health and quality of life. The objective of this study was to explore how outdoor activities and the campus landscape impacted the subjective well-being (SWB) of Chinese university students in the pre-COVID-19 era (before December 2019) and during the COVID-19 era (from December 2019 to early December 2022). This study collected 439 valid questionnaires from students at a Chinese university, with the questions focusing on the frequency and length of time that university students of different genders, grades, and abilities to cover their living expenses participated in outdoor activities in the pre- and COVID-19 eras, as well as the changes in their SWB. Paired sample t tests revealed a significant decrease in SWB during the COVID-19 era compared with the pre-COVID-19 era, while independent sample t tests and a one-way ANOVA showed that changes in the SWB of university students pre- and during COVID-19 were not related to their gender or their ability to cover their living expenses, but were related to their grades. Hierarchical linear regression showed that outdoor activities in the COVID-19 era had a significant effect on mitigating the decline in students’ SWB. These results suggest a proactive way to increase resilience to future public health challenges and other crises of human life safety.
