INFLUENCES OF GENDER AND ACADEMIC RANK ON THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN FACULTY STRESS AND BURNOUT FOR COLLEGE TEACHERS IN TAIWAN
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Many studies have mentioned that the relationship between faculty stress and burnout; however, few of them revealed the influences of gender and academic rank on this relationship. The study aimed to examine the influences of gender and academic rank on the relationships between faculty stress and burnout for college professors in Taiwan. There were 583 college teachers in Taiwan participated in the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Faculty Stress Scale. Through the analyses of canonical correlation and structural equation modeling, we found that female associate professors and lecturers in Taiwan may be at the highest risk of experiencing burnout, especially when experiencing symptoms of emotional exhaustion. Their stress appears to stem from mostly time consuming and demanding administrative matters and heavy workloads, but is unrelated to professional identity.
