Abstract

This work focuses on the issue of stress in the teaching profession. Strong emphasis was put on determining the source of stress which is common in this line of work as well as on the ways of dealing with the tension. More over, the aim of the research was to attempt to estimate how stress affects teachers’ health condition and their assigned job. The research was conducted on a group of 100 teachers from east side of Poland. Authorial tool and Subjective Work Assessment Questionnaire created by Dudek and co -workers were the research tools. The analysis of the research material was conducted with the use of STATISTICA 10 and Microsoft Office Excel software. U MannWhitney, Kruskal–Wallis and χ2 tests were applied. Statistical significance of p < 0,05 was assumed. Workload and lack of rewards were recognized to be the most stress inducing factors in the teaching profession. Teachers perceive their job as difficult and their rewards are not adequate to the effort and engagement put into their work. Despite that most of them like their occupation.
