Abstract

Abstrak

Golongan pendidik merupakan antara kumpulan yang paling mudah terdedah kepada masalah kesihatan mental. Pendedahan berterusan kepada tekanan dan cabaran harian bukan sahaja boleh menjejaskan kesejahteraan mereka, tetapi juga memberi impak langsung kepada prestasi kerja. Situasi ini timbul kerana guru perlu mengurus pelbagai tugasan dan tanggungjawab yang telah ditetapkan dalam rutin harian mereka, menjadikan mereka berhadapan dengan beban kerja yang kompleks dan berlapis. Kajian ini dijalankan menggunakan rekabentuk kuantitatif melalui soal selidik, melibatkan 100 responden daripada dua sekolah di daerah Temerloh. Hasil dapatan menunjukkan bahawa tahap kesihatan mental dan burn-out dalam kalangan guru adalah rendah, masing-masing dengan purata skor min 1.94 dan 1.78. Daripada enam hipotesis yang diuji, lima daripadanya disokong, menunjukkan bahawa faktor-faktor kesihatan mental mempunyai pertalian yang signifikan dengan burn-out. Disamping itu, kajian ini didapati bahawa kepuasan kerja menjadi faktor penyederhana dalam perkaitan diantara kemurungan dan keresahan dengan burn-out. Namun, kepuasan kerja tidak berkesan sebagai moderator antara tekanan dan burn-out, menandakan bahawa tekanan yang dihadapi guru mungkin memerlukan intervensi atau strategi khusus untuk dikendalikan dengan lebih efektif, bagi memastikan kesejahteraan mental dan prestasi kerja mereka terpelihara.

 

Abstract

Educators are among the most vulnerable groups to mental health problems. Constant exposure to daily stress and challenges can not only affect their well-being but also have a direct impact on work performance. This situation arises because teachers must manage various tasks and responsibilities that have been set in their daily routines, leaving them faced with complex and layered workloads. This study was conducted using a quantitative design through questionnaires, involving 100 respondents from two schools in Temerloh district. The results showed that the levels of mental health and burn-out among teachers were low, with an average mean score of 1.94 and 1.78, respectively. Of the six hypotheses tested, five of them were supported, suggesting that mental health factors have a significant affinity with burnout. In addition, this study found that job satisfaction is a moderating factor in the association between depression and anxiety and burn-out. However, job satisfaction is not effective as a moderator between stress and burn-out, indicating that the stress faced by teachers may require specific interventions or strategies to be managed more effectively, to ensure that their mental well-being and work performance are preserved.
