The Relationship Between Job Stress and Job Satisfaction of Primary and Secondary School Physical Education Teachers: A Moderated Mediation Model.

This study examined the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction among primary and secondary school physical education teachers, with job burnout as a mediator and psychological resilience as a moderator. A total of 444 Chinese physical education teachers completed the Questionnaire on Occupational Stress and Stressors for Primary and Secondary School Physical Education Teachers, the Teacher Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educator Survey (MBI-ES), and the Teacher Psychological Resilience Scale. The results showed that: (1) job stress negatively predicted job satisfaction (β = −0.397, p < 0.001); (2) job burnout partially mediated the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction (indirect effect = −0.203); (3) psychological resilience moderated the relationship between job stress and job burnout (β = −0.12, p < 0.001). These findings support the mediating role of job burnout and show that psychological resilience weakens the positive association between job stress and job burnout, such that job stress affects job satisfaction both directly and indirectly through burnout, with a stronger indirect effect among teachers with lower psychological resilience.
