Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 學校行政碩士在職專班 === 100 === This study aims to investigate the correlation among work-related stress, resilience and the presentation of depressive symptoms of teachers with additional administrative duties who work at public senior high schools in Taipei city. The subjects of the study are 279 teachers with additional administrative duties who work in public senior high schools in Taipei city(referred to as “such teachers” hereafter). Research instruments include 「Quantitative Investigation on Presence of Job Stress」,「Resilience Scale for Adults」,「Ko Depression Inventory」. Data collected is analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé methed、Pearson's correlation analysis, multiple stepwise regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. The main results are listed here. 1.Such teachers’ work-related stress is in the lower-medium level. Their resilience is in the high-medium level. 39.1% of them show minor or more serious depressive symptoms. 2.There are significantly more such teachers under the age of 30 who show depressive symptoms than those over the age of 41. 3.There are significantly more such teachers with college/university diploma who show depressive symptoms than those with a master’s degree or a higher academic qualification. 4.Resilience shown by such teachers who has been in administrative posts for 6 to 10 years and 11 to 15 years is significantly stronger than those who has only been in their administrative posts for 1 to 2 years. Those who have only been in their administrative posts for 1 to 2 years show significantly more depressive symptoms than those who have been in their administrative posts for 6 to 10 years. 5.Overall, such teachers who are directors show stronger resilience than such teacher who are section chiefs. On the other hand, such teachers who are section chiefs show more depressive symptoms than those who are directors. 6.Such teachers who are married show significantly better resilience than those who are single. 7.Such teachers who have more than 2 children show significantly better resilience than those who have none. 8.Such teachers working at schools with 51 or more classes experience significantly more work-related stress than those working at schools with 31 to 50 classes. 9.There is a significant medium correlation between work-related stress experienced by such teachers and the presentation of their depressive symptoms. There is a significant low negative correlation between overall resilience and the presentation of their depressive symptoms. 10.Work-related stress resulting from insufficient professional knowledge and the strength of personal resilience are the best indicators for the presentation of such teacher’s depressive symptoms. 11.Resilience of such teachers can effectively moderate work-related stress and depressive symptoms. This study discusses the above-mentioned results and offers several suggestions for the reference of relevant practical work and further studies.
