This paper takes work-family conflict as the independent variable, work engagement as the dependent variable, and perceived organizational support and emotional exhaustion as the mediating variables, and studies the influence of work-family conflict on work engagement and the mechanism of perceived organizational support and emotional exhaustion…

Given the role of stress and self-efficacy on educators in the process of language learning and teaching, it is postulated that further elements such as teachers' emotional exhaustion and work engagement had a remarkable role in the educational process both for teachers and learners; however, the predictor role of self-efficacy and stress remains…

This study hypothesizes that teachers with a higher degree of burnout are less likely to respond to bullying behaviors and it further hypothesizes that those with greater years of teaching are less likely to respond to bullying behaviors. Of…

Educational research has examined factors contributing to teachers' burnout symptoms, including their perceptions of student behaviors (Ingersoll, 2003). Interestingly, teacher and students' races have been differentially related to teachers' perceptions of student behavior (Downey & Pribesh, 2004); this disparity in perceptions has been…
