The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between job stress and school effectiveness for guidance and counseling section chiefs in senior high schools. This study specifically probed into whether job stress of senior high school guidance and counseling section chiefs with different background variables affected perceived school effectiveness and their relationship. The participants were 505 adjunct senior high school guidance and counseling section chiefs held by Military Training Instructors or the teachers in academic year 2017. A comprehensive questionnaire survey with the self-developed “The Relationship between Job Stress and School Effectiveness for Guidance and Counseling Section Chiefs in Senior High Schools Questionnaire” was adopted for data collection. A total of 409 valid questionnaires were collected. Data analysis included means, SD, t-Test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression by use of the SPSS Windows 14.0 software. The results were as follows: 1.Senior high school guidance and counseling section chiefs held a low-intermediate attitude toward job stress and a high-intermediate attitude toward school effectiveness. 2.While background variables (gender, age, education background, and seniority) did not significantly affect perceived job stress, differences existed in a few aspects. Significant differences did not exist in marital status, school size, school attribute, school rank, and school district. 3.Age, seniority, school size, and school rank significantly affect perceived school effectiveness. Gender, marriage, educational background, and school attribute affected a few aspects. School district, however, did not significantly affect perceived school effectiveness. 4.Job stress of the senior high school guidance and counseling section chief was negatively correlated with school effectiveness at a significant level. 5.Job stress of guidance and counseling section chiefs significantly predict school effectiveness. Suggestions, based on the results and conclusion of the study, for educational authorities, senior high school executives, Section Chiefs of Discipline, and future researchers are provided.
