“…There is a huge literature on role conflict and role ambiguity in specific areas, such as education (Rizzo, House and Lirtzman, 1970;Schwab and Iwanicki, 1981;Beck and Gargiulo, 1983;Ehly, 1992;Kaufhold, Alverez and Arnold, 2006;McCarthy et al, 2009;Gavish and Friedman, 2010;Çelik, 2013) and health (Rizzo, House and Lirtzman, 1970;Kaufert and Koolage, 1984;Comerford and Abernethy, 1999;Piko, 2006;Tarrant and Sabo, 2010;Khamisa, Peltzer and Oldenburg, 2013). However, role conflict and ambiguity in the work of judges have hardly received any attention in the public administration literature.…”

The reform of the judiciaries of several countries have created a new role for judges, a managerial role, in which judges assume new management responsibilities. This new role is different from the traditional one which focused on judicial tasks, and has generated conflict and ambiguity in the work of judges. This study aims to identify and discuss the conflicts and ambiguities between the judicial and administrative roles performed by Portuguese judges. The research took place in Portugal over the period between 2013 and 2014, and data was collected from in-depth interviews with 12 judges. The research identifies several areas of role conflict and ambiguity in the judges' work. The main conflicts are: incompatibility between the carrying out of judicial and management activities; high workload and insufficient and unmotivated administrative staff; the need to maintain both productivity and judicial quality; and the great responsibility of the position but poor remuneration. The main ambiguities reported are: the formal relationship between judges and administrative officials; the judge's function in the process of court planning; the criteria for the distribution of judicial proceedings among judges; and the criteria to evaluate judges' performance. These results are discussed and a research agenda is suggested. Keywords: judicial management; judge; social role; role conflict; role ambiguity.

Consensual Qualitative Research was used to develop a framework for understanding the demands faced by lesbian and gay (LG) teachers as a function of the interaction between sexual identity and professional context, including resources used in combatting those demands. Data sources included two interviews each with 11 teachers who each identified as lesbian or gay. Overall, the participants identified a far greater diversity of demands than resources/coping strategies. This speaks to the main finding, which indicates that neither remaining closeted nor being open about sexual orientation protected teachers from a variety of workplace demands explicitly tied to sexual orientation. Findings are discussed within the context of literature on minority stress, the transactional model of stress, and coping strategies. The present study adds to the literature on the types of demands and resources that are unique to LG individuals by highlighting specific interactions between sexual identity management and the v workplace. Additionally, the study contributes to the body of work on teacher stress by providing a framework for how elements of identity that do not directly relate to teaching can influence the demands experienced by teachers. Implications for supporting LG teachers and making their school environments less stressful are discussed.vi

“…A preschool teacher is the most important part of preschool education, and is one of the most important adults in the lives of children (Griggs, Gagnon, Huelsman, Kiddler-Ashley & Ballard, 2009). Studies conducted in different cultures show that teachers have the highest levels of professional job stress (Stoeber & Rennert, 2008). While teaching is reported to be a highly stressful profession in general, special studies regarding preschool education have put forth that teachers working with smaller children face an increasing amount of unprecedented problems (McCarthy, Lambert, O'Donnell & Melendres, 2009). Having to deal with a lot of matters and situations like following the latest innovations in his or her field and applying them, working in harmony with his or her colleagues and administrative staff, the struggle of establishing balance between family and school as well as excessively crowded classrooms may lead to stress in preschool teachers (Chan, 2003;Coulter & Abney, 2009;Lambert & McCarty, 2006;Mullins, 1993;Ozbey, 2012).…”

The aim is to investigate the relationships between the temperament and character traits and burnout dimensions among preschool teachers. In total, 130 preschool teachers participated in this study. All participants were asked to complete the Temperament and Character Inventory, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Findings indicate a positive association between emotional exhaustion and persistence. On the other hand, there is a negative significant correlation between emotional exhaustion and self-directedness (SD). Results conclude that there is a positive significant relationship between depersonalisation and SD, and a positive association between personal accomplishment and harm avoidance (HA). Multiple regression analysis was employed to examine the predictive effect temperament and character traits displayed on the burnout dimensions. Novelty seeking and reward dependence were significant predictors of the emotional exhaustion burnout dimension. Temperament and character traits are not significantly correlated with depersonalisation. HA temperament and character trait are the predictor factors that have specific effects on personal accomplishment.Keywords: Burnout, preschool education teachers, temperament and character traits. * ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: Sibel Yoleri, Pre-School Education Department, Usak University, 64000 Center of Usak, Turkey.
