Teaching is one of the most stressful occupations. This study explores how teachers’ psychological capital — a combination of hope, resilience, optimism and self-efficacy — is related to stress, wellbeing, appraisal and coping. Teachers (n = 1502) across New Zealand and from a range of teaching levels completed surveys. Participants with more psychological capital reported less stress and more wellbeing, saw work demands more as challenges than threats, and reported using more task-focused and less emotion-focused coping strategies. Psychological capital appeared to be directly related to increased wellbeing and reduced stress. Given the importance of teacher wellbeing for the profession and for students, we need ways to build teachers’ personal resources and, importantly, to ensure that teaching environments support wellbeing.

新西兰教师的主观幸福感：心理资本作用的考察

教学是压力最大的职业之一。本研究探讨了教师的心理资本——希望、复原力、乐观和自我效能的组合——与压力、幸福感、评估和应对的关系。老师 （n= 1502) 在整个新西兰和从一系列教学水平完成的调查。拥有更多心理资本的参与者报告说压力更小，幸福感更高，将工作需求更多地视为挑战而不是威胁，并报告说他们使用更多以任务为中心而不以情绪为中心的应对策略。心理资本似乎与增加幸福感和减轻压力直接相关。鉴于教师福祉对职业和学生的重要性，我们需要建立教师个人资源的方法，更重要的是，确保教学环境支持福祉。
