A Study on the Impact of Work Stress on Work Performance for Newly-Employed Teachers of Colleges and Universities in Western China
The dual stress from teaching and scientific research performance assessment must be placed on newly-employed teachers of colleges and universities as a special group of teachers of colleges and universities at the beginning of their role change and adaptation. In this paper, the impact of work stress on work performance for newly-employed teachers was analyzed by taking newly-employed teachers of colleges and universities in Western China as research objects. The analysis results showed that work stress had a significant positive correlation to the challenge stress and a significant negative correlation to the hindrance stress. The task performance and the work performance had a significant positive correlation to the work stress and a significant negative correlation to the hindrance stress. In addition, the work-related happiness partially mediates the relationship between the work stress and the work performance.
