Explanatory Model of Job Satisfaction in Teachers During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers to continue teaching their classes remotely, without prior preparation, in social isolation, and with difficulty in disconnecting digitally, in the face of high work demands and in a context of uncertainty. Given this scenario, the need arose to determine the validity of an explanatory model of job satisfaction in Peruvian teachers. We worked with a cross-sectional explanatory design of latent variables and a sample of 232 Peruvian teachers from urban areas at the basic and higher education levels, selected with a non-probabilistic sample. Stress overload was found to mediate the relationship between work-family conflict and job satisfaction in teachers who worked remotely during the pandemic. Neither work-family conflict nor self-efficacy had an indirect effect, mediated by stress overload, on teachers’ job satisfaction.
