Located at the interface of work and organizational psychology as well as biologically oriented health psychology, the focus of the working group in research and teaching is on the causes and consequences of chronic stress in the teaching profession.
A stressful workplace – a psychological perspective
Many adults spend most of their daily time at work. Thus, it is not surprising that the characteristics of a workplace significantly affect mental and physical health (Siegrist, 2002). Working individuals value their quality of life higher than unemployed individuals (Ruchlin & Morris, 1991). On the other hand, psychological and medical research has shown that stress at work is associated with numerous mental and physical impairments.
