“…This has resulted in the emergence of several stressors. 25 Additionally, jobrelated burnout has been found to have a direct negative effect on the QoL of faculty members, 24 irrespective of their discipline. 3 Coping strategies that alleviate stress appear to improve QoL.…”

Objective: This study aimed to identify the predictors of perceived stress and quality of life (QoL) among graduate dental faculty. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using a representative sample of 348 dental faculty members from master's and doctoral programs in Brazil. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires between August and December 2018. QoL was assessed using the multidimensional World Health Organization Quality of Life assessment (WHOQOL-BREF). Perceived stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Participant sociodemographic characteristics served as the independent variables. The data were subjected to linear regression analysis. Results: Women obtained higher PSS scores and lower QoL scores (P < 0.05). There was a negative correlation between perceived stress and all 4 QoL domains. Multivariate analysis revealed that a combination of the independent variables (i.e., sex, age, sleep duration, dual employment, medication intake due to work, and leisure time) explained 32% of the variance in perceived stress. Regarding QoL, perceived stress, sleep duration, and medication intake due to work explained 50%, 58%, 27%, and 40% of the variance in the physical health, psychological, social relationships, and environment domain scores, respectively. Sex (i.e., female) and medication intake due to work predicted higher levels of perceived stress. In contrast, age, sleep duration, dual employment, and leisure time were associated with lower levels of perceived stress. Conclusion: Perceived stress and medication intake due to work had a negative effect on QoL, whereas sleep duration had a positive impact on QoL.

“…Workload can be defined as the amount of time consumed by the teachers in performing various tasks ranging from meetings, co-curricular activities, teaching and learning and other related official tasks as a teaching during or after school hours (Azita, 2012). This definition is further supported by Punia and Kamboj (2013) and Sharifah, Suhaida, and Soaib (2017) in which they expounded workload as the amount of time taken by teachers to set up their official duties both inside and outside school hours. Additionally, a study by Ferguson, Frost, and Hall (2012) discovered that workload is one of the significant predictors of depression and anxiety among the teachers.…”

This paper investigated the influence of the contexts Workload Expectancy (WE), Constructivists Pedagogical Beliefs (CPB), Self-Efficacy (SE), Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Social Influence (SI) and Facilitating Conditions (FC) that influence the Behavioural Intention (BI) among teachers in Malaysian public schools to use the Frog Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) programme. In Malaysia, improving student's outcomes is an area of great interest and is key to creating better future for the nation. The paper used a sample of 999 publicschool teachers which consisted of primary school teachers and secondary school teachers across Malaysia who were analyzed using a partial least squares approach via Smart PLS 3.0. The study revealed that performance expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions leads to behavioural intention to use the FROG VLE programme among the teachers. However, workload expectancy, constructivists' pedagogical beliefs, self-efficacy and effort expectancy did not lead to behavioural intention. Contribution/Originality: This study is expected to help the Malaysian Ministry of Education to revisit and revise the guidelines in Frog VLE implementation. The issues related to Frog VLE implementation have long been discussed and highlighted by various parties, but no studies have been done to investigate this matter seriously. Earlier discussion with teachers and headmasters were conducted which shows that the majority of those interviewed were unhappy with the Frog VLE implementation. The researcher felt that it was urgent to investigate the matter. Solving the recurring issues of additional obligations beyond their capabilities and potentials faced by teachers, would make the government more prepared to equip and enhance teachers' professionalism with decent ICT knowledge and competencies.

“…Punia and Kamboj (2013: 197) ponder that QoWL augments teachers' effectiveness and satisfaction, wellness and increased the behaviour of students. The study undertaken by Punia and Kamboj (2013) on the QoWL balance amongst Indian teachers found that their designations, nature of appointment and academic stream affect their QoWL balance directly and significantly. A research study conducted by Nanjundeswaraswmy & Swamy (2013) among 109 employees in a private technical institution to examine the QoWL of employees revealed that male employees were more satisfied than their female counterparts and that adequacy of resources were associated with the QoWL and the training and development less correlated.…”

Quality of Work Life (QoWL) is topical in universities in this epoch of managerialism which has directly influenced workplace environments. However, most of the extant research has focussed on the developing relationship between QoWL and job satisfaction of academic (teaching) staff members. To date, few attempts have been made at reviewing the literature pertaining to QoWL as a concept, its dimensions and impact on the diverse aspect of employees. This study adopts an interpretive framework as a philosophical perspective and follows a hermeneutic framework as the literature obtained from databases will be classified, mapped, critically assessed and arguments developed. The current study is a unique attempt to review the literature on QoWL concepts, dimensions and gaps commencing from its inception in the 1970s. There is a dearth of literature-based review studies on the impacts of QoWL in universities which this study attempts to fill.
