Download or read book El s ndrome de burnout en los docentes written by Jesús Esteras Peña and published by Ediciones Pirámide. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante las tres últimas décadas el profesional docente ha estado expuesto a una presión social ante la demanda de soluciones a cuestiones muy diversas y complejas, tales como la convivencia en sociedades marcadas por la diversidad, la mejora de la calidad educativa que contribuya al desarrollo de la competitividad y de las capacidades de anticipación ante los nuevos retos y desafíos en las nuevas generaciones para adaptarse a los cambios que esta sociedad globalizada está imponiendo en cada momento. Por ello, nos podemos encontrar ante una disonancia entre lo que se espera del profesor y lo que este puede ofrecer, ya que las demandas pueden superar los recursos de los docentes y ocasionar imposibilidad de dar respuesta. Por ello, la docencia se ha convertido en una profesión estresante por su naturaleza: el estrés es una preocupante amenaza para todo docente y constituye un riesgo serio, no solo para el bienestar del profesorado, sino también por sus efectos en la educación de los niños y jóvenes que van al colegio o instituto. En esta obra la comunidad científica invita a seguir desarrollando nuevos trabajos de investigación que ayuden a identificar las variables implicadas en la génesis y en el desarrollo del síndrome de burnout en los docentes. Así, en el libro se aborda el marco conceptual de los diversos constructos que intervienen en este síndrome, y la evaluación y medidas del burnout y sus fases progresivas. También se desarrolla la prevalencia y la sintomatología asociada, así como los factores implicados en las causas y mantenimiento del síndrome de burnout y los diversos modelos explicativos, y se hace hincapié en la relación de este síndrome con variables de salud.

Download or read book Working Couples Caring for Children and Aging Parents written by Margaret B. Neal and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the baby boomer generation approaches midlife, many dual-earner couples are struggling with issues of simultaneously caring for children while tending to aging parents. This timely book uncovers the circumstances faced by these workers, known as the “sandwiched generation”, and identifies what they need in order to fulfill their work and family responsibilities. Authors Margaret B. Neal and Leslie B. Hammer suggest the workplace as an arena for change, proposing that it adapt to the situations of today’s workers by providing flexibility and understanding the needs and priorities of families. Based on a four-year national study funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Working Couples Caring for Children and Aging Parents examines: employer and governmental initiatives affecting work and family life in the United States; supports provided to working caregivers in countries other than the United States; the effects of being “sandwiched” on work-family fit, well-being, and work; and changes in work and family roles and outcomes over time. This book will interest a broad audience, including students, policymakers, family care practitioners, IO psychologists, work-life professionals, gerontologists, sociologists, human resource managers, and occupational health psychologists.

Download or read book Understanding Teacher Stress in an Age of Accountability written by Richard Lambert and published by IAP. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School districts today face increasing calls for accountability during a time when budgets are stretched and students’ needs have become increasingly complex. The teacher’s responsibility is to educate younger people, but now more than ever, teachers face demands on a variety of fronts. In addition to teaching academic content, schools are responsible for students’ performance on state-wide tests. They are also asked to play an increasingly larger role in children’s well-being, including their nutritional needs and social and emotional welfare. Teachers have shown themselves to be more than capable of taking up such challenges, but what price is paid for the increasing demands we are placing on our schools? Understanding Teacher Stress in an Age of Accountability is about the nature of teachers stress and the resources they can employ to cope with it. Accountability is a two-way street and the authors in this volume suggest remedies for reducing teacher stress and in all likelihood increasing student learning—greater administrative support, more and better instructional materials, specialized resources targeted at demanding children, parental support, and professional recognition. Readers will discover that lack of funding, low pay, concerns about academic performance and student misbehavior, and increased public and governmental scrutiny are not exclusive to the United States. In this volume, the third in a series on Research on Stress and Coping in Education, authors from Australia, Turkey, Malaysia, and the Netherlands sound the same alarms, post the same warnings, and draw similarly disturbing conclusions.

Download or read book Managing Emotions in the Workplace written by Neal M. Ashkanasy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern workplace is often thought of as cold and rational, as no place for the experience and expression of emotions. Yet it is no more emotionless than any other aspect of life. Individuals bring their affective states and emotional "buttons" to work, leaders try to engender feelings of passion and enthusiasm for the organization and its mission, and consultants seek to increase job satisfaction, commitment, and trust. This book advances the understanding of the causes and effects of emotions at work and extends existing theories to consider implications for the management of emotions. The international cast of authors examines the practical issues raised when organizations are studied as places where emotions are aroused, suppressed, used, and avoided. This book also joins the debate on how organizations and individuals ought to manage emotions in the workplace. Managing Emotions in the Workplace is designed for use in graduate level courses in Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management, or Organizational Development - any course in which the role of emotions in the workplace is a central concern. Scholars and consultants will also find this book to be an essential resource on the latest theory and practice in this emerging field.
