Description
Summary:Self-Efficay and Self-Regulation as moderating variables of work stress in Elementary School teachers. The main purpose of this article is to deepen into the possible moderating role of variables such as self-efficacy and self-regulation in the experience of work stress. Revision of previous research is not conclusive, for this reason this investigation can yield empirical evidence on the relation between these variables. The sample consisted of 106 elementary school teachers; these workers have been reported to undergo important levels of stress in their jobs. Four instruments were used in this investigation, the Irritation Scale and the Brief Burnout Questionnaire to assess the dependent variables and the General Self-Efficacy Scale and the Self-Regulation Scale as independent variables to explain the model. Correlation and lineal multiple regression analyses were carried out. Results obtained confirmed initial hypotheses, since subjects scoring higher in self-efficacy and self-regulation show lower levels of stress. Regression analysis showed a lower role to the independent variables considered in the model than expected, although results were significant. Keywords Self-Efficacy; Self-Regulation; Teacher Burnout; Irritation El objetivo del presente articulo es profundizar en el posible rol modulador que pueden ejercer variables como la autoeficacia y la autorregulacion en la experiencia del estres laboral. La revision bibliografica llevada a cabo sobre este tema resulta un tanto ambigua, por este motivo este estudio puede aportar nuevas evidencias empiricas sobre la relacion entre estas variables. La muestra estaba compuesta por 106 profesores de educacion primaria, un colectivo que esta sometido a niveles importantes de estres en su contexto laboral. En cuanto a los instrumentos, fueron cuatro las herramientas utilizadas en la investigacion, la Escala de irritacion y el Cuestionario breve de Burnout para medir las variables dependientes, y la Escala de autoeficacia general y la Escala de autorregulacion como variables independientes explicativas del modelo. Los analisis llevados a cabo fueron un analisis de correlaciones y un analisis de regresion lineal multiple. Los resultados confirmaron las hipotesis de partida, ya que los sujetos con puntuaciones mas altas en autoeficacia y autorregulacion presentan menores niveles de estres. En cuanto al analisis de regresion realizado, los resultados obtenidos, aun siendo significativos, no ofrecen un papel muy
