“…Teachers’ experiences of job exhaustion have been associated with their physical problems (e.g., stress-related diseases; Wolfram et al, 2013 ) and psychological symptoms (e.g., depressive symptoms; Burrow et al, 2020 ). Teachers with higher levels of job exhaustion also tend to display lower job satisfaction and higher turnover intention (Delali et al, 2020 ; Lee et al, 2019 ; Mudau, 2016 ). Moreover, teachers’ job exhaustion is also associated with students' compromised individual and educational outcomes, such as negative self-concept, diminished learning interest, poor academic achievement, and low school satisfaction (Arens & Morin, 2016 ; Klusmann et al, 2022 ).…”

Job exhaustion is not uncommon among Chinese middle school teachers, but the key antecedents of job exhaustion and the underlying mechanisms in this historically underrepresented population remain poorly understood. This study examined the association between job demand and exhaustion, and tested the mediating role of job satisfaction and the moderating role of teachers’ role (i.e., homeroom versus subject) in this association. The two-wave, China Education Panel Survey data from 701 Chinese junior middle school teachers ( M age = 30.05 years old, SD age = 7.86; 78.75% females) were used. Primary hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling. Results indicated that job load rather than job stress at Wave 1 was positively associated with job exhaustion at Wave 2 indirectly through its negative association with job satisfaction at Wave 2 only among subject teachers; in contrast, for homeroom teachers, job satisfaction at Wave 2 was the only factor that was identified to be negatively associated with job exhaustion at Wave 2. Notably, all significant associations emerged after controlling for a number of covariates, including job exhaustion at Wave 1. Such findings shed initial light on the complexity inherent within the phenomena of middle school teachers’ occupational health in a Chinese cultural context. Reducing teachers’ work load associated with long working hours and promoting teachers’ job satisfaction may be effective ways to relieve and prevent job exhaustion, especially for Chinese subject teachers.

Purpose - This study intends to investigate the connection between work-life balance and job satisfaction among faculty members of management campuses in the Kathmandu Valley. When companies show concern for the satisfaction of employees’ personal lives and jobs, these employees often give back by contributing to the achievement of the organization’s objectives through enhanced performance and higher staff retention. Study design/methodology/approach - A quantitative approach was adopted and a descriptive and causal-comparative research design to measure the status of work-life balance and its connection with job happiness among the faculty members of management campuses in Kathmandu. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 147 faculty members, and analyzed through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. Findings - Results of this research exhibited a strong correlation between work-life balance and job satisfaction among faculty of management campuses in Kathmandu. The majority of faculty members of management campuses was able to manage their work-life responsibilities and expressed a moderate level of job satisfaction. Conclusion - Long hours and intense job pressure made it challenging for faculty to have a positive work-life balance, and an imbalance in these factors made them dissatisfied towards the job. Support from coworkers, flexible work hours, and family-friendly initiatives all contributed to a healthy balance between work-life, which helped faculty members feel more satisfied with their jobs. Implications - Theoretically, this study filled the gap that existed in the area of educational sectors in Nepal. The study is important for academics since it sparks ideas for additional research. Practically, the results of this research help to review the policies and strategies of the educational institutions to implement work-life balance practices which add to the job happiness of faculty and the quality and productivity of the institutions.
