Year: 2016
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This study focuses on the relation between the work stress perceptions of Grade 3\nteachers and the theoretical explanations of work stress. According to the data gathered\nfrom the teachers, there are significant links between the work stress perceptions of Grade\n3 teachers and the theoretical explanations of work stress specifically included in this\nstudy. Recommendations are made based on the findings of the study, as well as\nsecondary notable information. Aspects that limit the results and findings of the study are listed and briefly discussed. In addition to this, Kinman and Jones (2005) assert that stress\ndoes not exist in a vacuum and thus cannot be studied by extracting the individual from his\nor her cultural and social context. It was therefore essential to investigate a specific group\nof employees with a qualitative approach in order to determine whether the theoretical\nexplanations of work stress relate to the individuals experiencing the work stress\nthemselves.
