“…Citing literature that focused on coping styles among those experiencing physical illness (studies by Cooley & Keesey and Kobassa), Savicki and Cooley reported that "particular coping approaches may cause certain individuals to be resistant to burnout" (p. 417). Wiggins's (1984) investigation of the relationship between school counselor personality and job satisfaction provides some evidence to support Savicki and Cooley's (1982) theoretical claim. Using Holland's Vocational Preference Inventory and a job satisfaction inventory, one of the study's findings indicated that congruence (the fit between one's personality and the job environment) was positively correlated with job satisfaction.…”

“…Burnout among school counselors has been correlated with demographic variables (Hansen, 1967;Moracco et al, 1984;Parker, 1982;Sears & Navin, 1983;Stickel, 1991), individual personality attributes (Cummings & Nall, 1983;Wiggins, 1984), and organizational issues Kendrick, Chandler, & Hatcher, 1994;Pierson-Hubeny & Archambault, 1987;Stickel, 1991;Thompson & Powers, 1983). However, no existing study of school counselors has attempted to examine all of these correlates simultaneously.…”

This study investigated the demographic, intrapersonal, and organizational factors associated with burnout among a population of school counselors in the northeastern United States (n = 78). Three hierarchical regression analyses were completed to determine the amount of variance that each cluster contributed to the 3 subscales on the Maslach Burnout Inventory‐Educators Survey (MBI‐ES; C. M. Maslach, S. E. Jackson, & M. P. Leiter, 1996): Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Personal Accomplishment. The final models accounted for 45%, 30%, and 42% of the overall variation on each subscale, respectively.

“…In the contrary, some studies reached to the result that anxiety will increase with the increase of age and tenure (Betz, 1978;Dew, Galassi & Galassi, 1984;Richardson & Suinn, 1972). Also, some studies cannot find a meaningful relation between these variables and anxiety (Wiggins, 1984).…”

“…Although some researchers determined that older teachers have higher mathematics anxiety levels than younger teachers (Betz, 1978;Dew, Galassi & Galassi, 1984), some researchers stated that there was a reverse relationship between mathematics anxiety and age and tenure variables (Byrne, 1994;Gold, 1985). In some studies, it is determined that age and tenure variables are not effective in mathematics anxiety (Wiggins, 1984). Not many studies are conducted in the literature in terms of considering the program of study variable.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this study is to determine the level of mathematics anxiety in primary school teachers in Turkey and to investigate the influence of a number of variables over the anxiety level. 559 teachers were participated in the study. In this study, mathematics Anxiety Scale Intended for Teachers and Candidate Teachers (MKÖ-Ö) was used as the data collection tool. For data analysis, "t" test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Tukey test were applied. According to the research results, we have found that total anxiety scores for teachers were at the "I am anxious a little" level. Also, there was a significant difference between teachers' anxiety level and gender variable, and female teachers' anxiety levels were found to be higher than male teachers. Additionally, teachers' anxiety levels decreased as their age and tenure increased. According to the variable of the program of study, the anxiety levels of teachers who graduated from primary school teaching program were lower than the graduated teachers from other programs. Moreover, it is found that the anxiety levels of mathematics teachers who like their job were lower than those who do not like their job.

“…Among the seven studies which have examined the extent to which differentiation or consistency are positively correlated with job satisfaction, three are somewhat supportive of the hypothesis that they do enhance the prediction of job satisfaction (Hener & Meir, 1981;Wiggins, 1984;Wiggins, Lederer, Salkowe, & Rys, 1983), and four are only weakly supportive or clearly nonsupportive (Frantz & Walsh, 1972;Peiser & Meir, 1978;Villwock, Schnitzen, & Carbonari, 1976). In fact, Gottfredson and Holland found that among bank tellers, differentiation was significantly negatively correlated with job satisfaction.…”

An outgrowth of the search for individual differences serving to enhance the predictability of behavior has led to speculations on the nature of personality characteristics which might moderate the extent to which work outcomes depend on degree of person- environment fit or congruence. This study investigated the extent to which three constructs proposed by Holland (1985; differentiation, consistency, and vocational identity) indeed moderate the strength of the congruence-satisfaction relationship. A sample of 139 employed adults who had completed Strong Interest Inventories between 1 and 6 years earlier completed measures of job satisfaction and vocational identity. The results indicated that none of Holland's proposed constructs moderated the strength of the congruence-satisfaction relationship, although congruence did emerge as a stronger predictor of job satisfaction for older males than for younger males. Implications for vocational assessment and career counseling are discussed.
