Continuous exposure to stress has psychological and physiological consequences for employees, especially for mental health professionals whose professions are known as demanding and stressful. The current study focuses on the relationship between role stress and burnout in the contemporary school counselors' role. We also aimed to examine whether professional identity might serve as a protective mechanism against burnout. School counselors (N = 205, 96% female, mean age = 43.03) currently practicing in the Israeli education system filled out questionnaires assessing their perceived role stress, burnout, and professional identity. Results indicated that school counselors perceived noncounseling role stressors as more stressful than counseling role stressors. Noncounseling role stressors contributed to burnout more than counseling role stressors. Professional identity was negatively correlated with burnout. Last, professional identity moderated the relationship between role stress and burnout. Findings highlight the negative impact of noncounseling stressors on burnout and the importance of professional identity as a protective factor against burnout among school counselors.

当代学校辅导员角色压力、职业认同与倦怠的关系

持续承受压力会给员工带来心理和生理上的后果，尤其是对于其职业要求高且压力大的心理健康专业人士而言。目前的研究侧重于当代学校辅导员角色中的角色压力与职业倦怠之间的关系。我们还旨在研究职业身份是否可以作为防止倦怠的保护机制。学校辅导员 ( N = 205，96% 为女性，平均年龄 = 43.03）目前在以色列教育系统中实践，填写问卷，评估他们感知到的角色压力、倦怠和职业认同。结果表明，学校辅导员认为非辅导角色压力源比辅导角色压力源压力更大。非咨询角色压力源比咨询角色压力源更容易导致倦怠。职业认同与倦怠呈负相关。最后，职业认同调节了角色压力和职业倦怠之间的关系。研究结果强调了非咨询压力源对职业倦怠的负面影响，以及职业身份作为学校辅导员防​​止职业倦怠的保护因素的重要性。
