The teaching profession is often associated with stress, which has a negative impact on the individual and can have negative consequences on the academic achievements of students. To determine the components of individual sources of occupational stress on a sample of 538 teachers, qualitative methodology was used, and a thematic analysis was conducted. The research problems were as follows: gaining an insight into the components of the experience of stress in relation to individual sources of stress and gaining an insight into teachers’ actual difficulties and their thoughts, which the researchers assumed went beyond the sources of occupational stress in the workplace. Results: the components of individual sources of occupational stress are most often related to students, parents, expert associates and principals, excessive administrative tasks, and to a lack of professional training. The teachers also expressed their dissatisfaction with the social status of their profession and saw it as a significant source of stress. |
