Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between work stress, coping strategies, job satisfaction, and burnout among Guidance and Counselling Teachers. A total of 583 respondents, who are Guidance and Counselling Teachers in secondary schools, participated in this study. The study employed a survey research design, with data collected through questionnaires. The questionnaires used in this study include the Occupational Stress Inventory Revised Edition (OSI-R), the Brief COPE Inventory, the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), and the School Counsellor Burnout Inventory (SCBI). The findings of the study show that there is only a significant relationship between problem-focused coping strategies and job satisfaction. The implication of this study indicates that problem-focused coping strategies can help improve job satisfaction. Therefore, Guidance and Counselling teachers need to develop personal resilience to enhance their self-competence in carrying out their duties.
