On the degree of psychological satisfaction, the junior high school teachers are higher than the senior high and the primary school teachers, the mathematics teachers are higher than the other subject teachers, the part-time job and the high academic teachers are highest than the others.On absentee-rate, the female teachers, the junior and senior high school teachers and the lower academic career teachers are higher than the others. 2) On the chronic muscle skeleton injury morbidity, it is different in different ethnicities, the female teachers are higher than the males, the long work-length teachers are greater than the short work-length teachers, the senior high school teachers are higher than the junior high and the primary school teachers. On sensitivity of reaction and movement, the male teachers are lower than the female teachers, the long work-length teachers are lower than the short-length teachers, the senior high school teachers are lower than the junior high school teachers and the primary school teachers, the physics and chemistry teachers are lower than the other subject teachers.
