บทคัดย่อ

          The objectives were: 1) To assess the teachers’job satisfaction at Qingdao Huanghai University. 2) To study Qingdao Huanghai University teachers’ work stress. 3) To study the impact of work stress on job satisfaction. The sample consisted of 314 teachers, academic year 2024, using simple random sampling. The instrument used was a questionnaire. to collect data with an index of consistency (IOC) between 0.67 and 1.00 and the overall reliability of 0.95. Statistics used to analyze the data were mean and standard deviation. The hypothesis was tested by using the Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The statistical significance was set at the 0.05 level.

          The study's results indicated that: 1) This study shows that different dimensions of work stress have important impacts on job satisfaction. Based on general research patterns and the logic of this study, it is inferred that teacher work stress and job satisfaction usually show a negative correlation—i.e., the greater the work stress, the lower the job satisfaction may be. Conversely, when stress is within a controllable range, it is more conducive to maintaining relatively high job satisfaction. 2) Reducing work stress, especially the interference between work and leisure time, is an effective strategy to improve teachers' job satisfaction, which can significantly enhance teachers' job satisfaction and student satisfaction.
