CORRELATION BETWEEN MENTAL HEALTH, WORK PRESSURE AND JOB BURNOUT OF MUSIC TEACHERS
Abstract
Many music teachers are faced with severe work pressure. Their mental health and job burnout call for more attention from the academia. This paper attempts to identify the correlation between mental health, work pressure and job burnout of music teachers. Thus, a questionnaire survey was carried out among music teachers in the primary and secondary schools in a Chinese city, and the collected data were statistically analyzed in such dimensions as gender, age and martial status. The results show that mental health, work pressure and job burnout of music teachers are affected by gender, age, marital status and education level; the work pressure of music teachers is positively correlated with job burnout and negatively with mental health; the job burnout of music teachers is negatively correlated with the mental health factors, i.e. positive mental health factors can relieve the job burnout. This study provides a theoretical support for improving the mental health of music teachers.
