In the Shadow of Pedagogy : Understanding the Psychosocial Work Environment of Middle School Teachers (English)
Abstract [sv]

Den här studien handlar om psykosocial arbetsmiljö. Syftet med studien är att skapa förståelseför den psykosociala arbetsmiljön hos mellanstadielärare för att identifiera faktorer som påverkar deras trivsel, hälsa och arbetsprestation. Detta besvarades genom tre frågeställningar. För att få förståelse för detta användes en kvalitativ forskningsansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet indikerade att mellanstadielärares psykosociala arbetsmiljö påverkades av socialt stöd och arbetets organisering. Dessutom visade resultatet på en hög arbetsbelastning och ett visst bristande ledarskapsstöd som påverkade de anställdas arbetsrelaterade stress och välbefinnande. Slutsatserna av studien indikera en stark strävan mot en jämnare fördelning av resurser, såsom tid, material och personal, främjande av en kultur präglad av öppenkommunikation och samarbete samt tillhandahållande av stöd och resurser för att hantera stress och utmaningar i arbete.

Abstract [en]

This study revolves around the psychosocial work environment. The aim of the study is to gain an understanding of the psychosocial work environment among middle school teachers to identify factors influencing their well-being, health, and job performance. This addressed through three research questions. To achieve this understanding, a qualitative research approach was employed using semi structured interviews. The findings indicated that the psychosocial work environment of middle school teachers was influenced by social support and work organization. Additionally, the results revealed a high workload and some lack of leadership support affecting employees’ work-related stress and well-being. The conclusions of the study suggest a strong emphasis on achieving a more equitable distribution of resources, such as time, materials and staff, promoting a culture characterized by open communication and collaboration and providing support and resources to manage stress and challenges in the workplace.
