“…Our findings are consistent with several previous studies that are based on teachers' self-perceptions of pupil problem behaviour and teachers' stress and burnout (Bauer et al, 2006;Bauer et al, 2007;Borg et al, 1991;Geving, 2007;Hastings & Bham, 2003;Kovess-Masféty et al, 2007;Kyriacou & Sutcliffe, 1978;Moreno-Abril et al, 2007;O'Connor & Clarke, 1990;Unterbrink et al, 2008). Perceived pupils' problem behaviour is consistently associated with teachers' stress and burnout in these studies.…”

“…These behaviours are linked to a number of factors related to pupils' home, friends, school, and health (Luopa, Pietikäinen, & Jokela, 2006, and international comparisons 1978; Moreno-Abril et al, 2007;O'Connor & Clarke, 1990;Unterbrink et al, 2008). However, the vast majority of these studies has relied solely on teachers' self-reports, introducing a potential common method bias arising from response styles and the fact that psychological distress may affect the perceptions of environmental factors, such as the workplace itself.…”

“…Various studies, including some of our own, have shown that coping with interpersonal problems in school is among the primary factors inXuencing teachers' health. This holds true not only when teachers are asked to rate which factors contribute most to their job strain (Bauer et al 2006) but also when diVerent factors are statistically analyzed regarding their impact on teachers' health: we were able to show that positive feedback by parents and pupils or support from colleagues and school heads had a signiWcant, pre-emptive inXuence on teachers' health (Unterbrink et al 2008). In fact, it is apparent that teachers are exposed to high rates of hostile encounters, entailing verbal aggression, threats of violence, as well as actual experiences of violence (Bauer et al 2007).…”

“…A number of studies have highlighted the importance of structural and organizational adjustments to improve and simplify the work situation of teachers [5,7,8]. A supportive leadership style by senior management using effective communication, formulating feasible targets, and creating a positive atmosphere among colleagues and in the classroom can prevent stress among teachers and students.…”
