Izvori stresa u radu nastavnika u visokom obrazovanju.

Sources of Stress in the Work of Teachers in Higher Education.

The aim of this study was to determine the sources of stress in the work of university teachers working in Croatia and to construct a questionnaire that would enable quantitative studies in this area. A qualitative study, aimed to determine the sources of stress at work, was conducted on a convenience sample of 34 higher education teachers in different academic ranks (assistants and professors), working in twelve faculties of the University of Zagreb and University in Split. Using the method of guided group discussions, we identified 125 characteristic sources of stress in the work that are logically categorized into nine content groups. Based on a qualitative study, we have constructed Questionnaire of Exposure to Stress in the Work for University Teachers and apply it on a sample of teachers (N=388) from three Croatian universities. After the implementation of confirmatory factor analysis procedures, the final questionnaire contains 68 items, which define the seven latent dimensions of sources of stress: Teaching and students, Consequences of the Bologna reform, Scientific-research work, Role-conflict, Remuneration and recognition, and Interpersonal relationships. The paper presents data on the metric characteristics of the structured questionnaire, and descriptive results of the pilot application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cilj je istraživanja bio utvrditi izvore stresa u radu sveučilišnih nastavnika zaposlenih u Hrvatskoj te konstruirati upitnik koji bi omogućio kvantitativne studije u ovom području. Kvalitativno je istraživanje čiji je cilj bio utvrditi izvore stresa u radu provedeno na prigodnom uzorku 34 visokoškolska nastavnika u različitim zvanjima (suradničkim i znanstveno-nastavnim) zaposlenima na dvanaest fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu i Splitu. Metodom smo vođenih grupnih diskusija identificirale 125 karakterističnih izvora stresa u radu koji su logično kategorizirani u devet sadržajnih skupina. Na temelju smo kvalitativne studije konstruirale Upitnik izloženosti stresu u radu za sveučilišne nastavnike (ISR-SN) te ga primijenile na uzorku nastavnika (N=388) triju hrvatskih sveučilišta. Nakon provedenih postupaka konfirmatorne faktorske analize konačna verzija upitnika sadrži 68 čestica koje definiraju sedam latentnih dimenzija izvora stresa: Nastava i studenti, Posljedice provedbe Bolonjske reforme, Znanstveno-istraživački rad, Konflikt uloga, Uvjeti rada, Primanja i priznanja te Međuljudski odnosi. U radu iznosimo podatke o metrijskim značajkama konstruiranog upitnika te deskriptivne rezultate pilot--primjene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
