The Study Of Relationship Between The Professional Burnout And The Psychological Control Locus With Its Coping Style For The Higher Vocational College Teachers(HVCT)

Background HVCT’s burnout is a hot social issue, with the fact that the HVCT study is slow, low-levelled, and with scant quantity. With the development of the Advanced vocational education, the status quo of the HVCT as a community may have a direct link with the students’ growth,and the college development, which is vital to our country’s higher education enterprise. Therefore it is of practical and theoretical significance to do a research into the HVCT’s burnout.Objective To have a better understanding of the HVCT’burnout,as well as its psychological control locus and its coping style invites a further survey into the relationship between the three factors.Methods By adopting the cluster random sampling method, combined with the teaching profession Burnout Inventory, Locus of Control Scale and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, a questionnaire survey is conducted between the two local vocational colleges in the City of Tongling. Out of the281questionnaires,263copies were recalled, with221copies valid.Results①The total average score of college teachers’ Job burnout ranges around (1.97±0.64), with the male teachers scoring much higher than the female teachers in emotional exhaustion (P<0.05); the total average score of Job burnout of the group younger than26and the group of around31-35is higher than that of26-30-year old teachers (P<0.05); the total average score of depersonalization of26-year-olds or younger is significantly higher than that of around-from-26-to-30-year-olds and over-the-36ones (P<0.05).②The higher vocational teachers’ internality of locus-control, high-ranking peers and opportunity score are (27.71±6.16).(20.00±7.65) and (18.83±6.78 respectively); the internal locus of control is significantly lower than the norm module (P<0.001); Comparatively speaking, the score of the high-ranking peers’score along with the ones with an intermediate tutorship or a deputy professorship is much higher than those of a lower primary title (P<0.001or P<0.05); At the same time, opportunity score of the group with an intermediate rank is higher than that of the lower primary title (P<0.01).③The score range of the styles of positive and negative coping among the HVCT are respectively (1.99±0.48) and (1.11±0.52), with the average of positive score above the norm (P<0.001), and the average of negative score below the norm (P<0.001).④The HVCT’s internality control locus is in disproportion with the Job burnout, the depersonalization, and the low sense of achievement (P<0.01)t;while that of the high-ranking peers is proportional (P<0.01).⑤The HVCT’s positive coping score is disproportionally related to the Job burnout and the low sense of achievement (P<0.05or P<0.01); while the negative coping is in proportion with the job burnout, emotional exhaustion and depersonalization (P<0.05or P<0.01).⑥The HVCT’ internality control locus is proportional to the active coping style (P<0.01); while the high-ranking peers’ opportunity score is proportional to the negative coping (P<0.01).⑦The percentage of the job burnout of the predictive power of dimensions of HCVT’s control locus is24.8%; that of the job burnout of dimensions of coping style is13.6%.⑧As to the degree of the negative coping, the ratio of the high-ranking peers’emotional exhaustion is0.133.Conclusions①On average the HVCT’s Job burnout is not serious.②There is a certain predictive effect on the tripartite respects.③There exists a medium effect on the negative high-ranking peers and the emotional die-down.
