Abstract: | The present study attempts to document the difficulties that teachers in Macau encountered in their work, the extent to which
the job-related difficulties would induce burnout, and whether or not social support could buffer the adverse effects of stress
on burnout. In-service teachers enrolled in a teacher training program filled out questionnaires addressing the variables
of interest. The results indicated that difficulties with fellow teachers, supervisors, students, and parents of students
were associated with burnout. Conjectures were made regarding the noneffectiveness of social support. |
