Teachers' Occupational Stress And Their Relationship To Their Motivation Toward Achievement Resulting From The Coronavirus Pandemic In The Sultanate Of Oman

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the level of teachers’ occupational stress resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, identify the level of teachers’ motivation towards achievement in schools in the Sultanate of Oman, and reveal the relationship between teachers’ occupational stress and their motivation towards achievement. The study relied on the descriptive, correlational approach, as it applied two measures: teachers’ occupational stress and motivation toward achievement, on a simple random sample of 232 teachers for the academic year 2022/2023.

The results indicated that the level of teachers’ occupational stress was moderate on the teachers’ occupational stress scale, and the level of teachers’ motivation toward achievement was high on the achievement motivation scale. They also revealed that there was no statistically significant correlation between teachers’ occupational stress and their motivation toward achievement.
