Ross and Normah (2011) explained that teachers have too many obligations towards parents; education reform and principal which results in work overload (Stoddard and Kuhn, 2008).…”

“…Success is strongly associated with teachers' morale [12]. Teachers deal with a variety of students, have to take control of a class, work hard in school and may have to take their work home; all of this puts them under stress [13]. Thus, nursing and teaching careers are similar in their basic nature.…”

SummaryThis study was conducted to evaluate burnout among nurses and teachers in Jordan, and to explore the differences between them. Several demographic factors were examined to evaluate their effect on burnout levels in both professions. The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design and was performed on 240 participants: 120 nurses and 120 teachers. A modified Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-modified) was used to assess the three dimensions of burnout. The results of this study showed moderate levels of burnout among both nurses and teachers; however, statistical analysis indicated that nurses had significantly higher levels of burnout than teachers. Moreover, the study showed that gender, marital status and experience significantly affected the level of burnout in teachers, but not in nurses. Educational level did not affect the level of burnout in either group. The study should help in setting proper intervention plans and psychological programs to tackle this important problem in both professions. burnout, nurses, teachers BACKGROUND

“…The effects of intensification are, in sum, 'less "down time" during the working day', which means less time for preparation, reflection and professional development, 'a chronic and persistent sense of work overload ... negative effects of the quality of results ... [and] diversification of expertise makes teachers become more dependent on external specialists, creating doubts about one's own competence' (Ballet et al, 2006, p. 210). Barlett (2004) shows that work overload is connected to extended teacher professionalism. The concept of 'extended teacher professionalism' implies teachers researching their own work and the development of learning communities (Stenhouse, 1975), which is assumed to enhance teachers' knowledge building and school development.…”

Market Competition in Upper Secondary Education: Perceived Effects on Teachers' Work

The development and expansion of market solutions is one of the most important changes in Swedish education in the last 30 years. The aim of the article is to describe and analyse how students and staff in upper secondary schools perceive the impact of market competition on teachers' work. Three groups of actors in two Swedish regions were interviewed: students, teachers and principals. The interviews were carried out at eight schools in five municipalities, at both public and independent schools. The results show that competition relations are more complex than is often assumed. Intensification of teachers' work is a common theme in the interviews. Traditional professional values and identities are challenged by the market competition and a market-oriented teacher is shaped -whether the teachers like it or not. The extension of teachers' tasks is increasingly about marketing. A new type of service-minded and flexible teacher is created. Regarding the effects of competition on teacher performance, the results are contradictory. The quality discourse is problematised as there is no evident link between winners in the school competition and the quality of teaching and student outcomes. The Swedish case is interesting in the international literature as an example of a rapidly growing upper secondary school market which is closer to the logic of the market than many other nations' school systems.
