Abstract

Posao učitelja pruža duboko zadovoljstvo zbog mogućnosti oblikovanja mladih umova i doprinosa njihovom razvoju, ali istovremeno nosi teret visokih očekivanja, ograničenih resursa i izazova u upravljanju raznolikim potrebama učenika, što može izazvati značajan stres. U ovom radu objašnjava se pojam stresa, prezentiraju njegove osnovne karakteristike, uključujući i faktore koji utječu na stres, strategije za suočavanje sa stresom te posljedice koje stres uzrokuje i njegov općeniti utjecaj na čovjeka. Obrazlaže se pitanje radnog zadovoljstva općenito kao i radnog zadovoljstva kod učitelja razredne nastave te čimbenici koji utječu na zadovoljstvo poslom. U sklopu rada provedeno je istraživanje s ciljem utvrđivanja povezanosti zadovoljstva poslom i stres kod učitelja razredne nastave. U provedenom istraživanju sudjelovalo je ukupno 164 ispitanika, a podaci su prikupljeni putem online anketnog upitnika na području Republike Hrvatske. Rezultati su pokazali prosječno zadovoljstvo poslom kod učitelja, pri čemu je najveće zadovoljstvo izraženo u aktivnostima koje su sastavni dio posla. Također, učitelji svoje zanimanje percipiraju kao umjereno stresno. Utvrđena je i prisutnost statistički značajne razlike u percepciji stresa između učitelja koji rade u gradu i učitelja koji rade na selu (p = 0,047), sa većom razinom stresa među učiteljima koji rade na selu. S obzirom na razlike u zadovoljstvu poslom i percepciji stresa prema mjestu rada, nije bilo statistički značajnih razlika u zadovoljstvu poslom, dok su učitelji koji rade na selu pokazali veću percepciju stresa u usporedbi s onima koji rade u gradu.

Abstract (english)

Being a teacher is not just a job, but also a calling. Every challenge and moment of stress represent an opportunity for growth, learning, and development. The dedication and strength of a teacher to face various challenges will reflect not only on the teacher themselves but also on all generations that pass through the classrooms where the same teacher taught them. Therefore, as one enters the world of the teaching profession, it is important to remember that every step on the path of stress is also a step towards personal and professional growth. In this work, stress will be defined, presenting its fundamental characteristics, including stress factors, coping strategies, and consequences of stress and its impact. The issue of job satisfaction is discussed both generally and specifically among elementary school teachers, exploring the factors that influence job satisfaction. As part of the study, research was conducted to explore the relationship between job satisfaction and stress among elementary school teachers. A total of 164 elementary school teachers participated in the study, and data were collected through an online questionnaire in the territory of the Republic of Croatia. The results indicated a moderate level of job satisfaction among teachers, with the highest satisfaction expressed in activities intrinsic to their profession. Conversely, teachers perceived their occupation as moderately stressful. A statistically significant difference in stress perception was found between teachers working in urban areas and those
working in rural areas (p = 0.047), with a higher level of stress observed among teachers working in rural areas. Regarding differences in job satisfaction and stress perception based on the workplace, no statistically significant differences in job satisfaction were found, while teachers working in rural areas exhibited a higher perception of stress compared to those working in urban settings.
