Occupational stress is known as harmful physical and emotional responses that occur when the requirements of the job do not match the resources, needs, or capabilities of an employee, leading to poor mental and physical health.
The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of 1-week residential yoga training program on occupational stress and its subscales among principals.
Thirty-three principals with ages 40-59 years completed the assessment. They received yoga training at Kaivalyadham Yoga Institute. All the participants were recruited by Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan as part of their on-duty yoga training. At the baseline and after 1 week of yoga training participants were assessed for occupational stress. The yoga intervention was given in the morning and evening for 105 min. Apart from yoga training, all the participants were engaged in lectures based on stress management, yoga for total health, meditation, yoga in school education, and scientific basis of yoga, daily for 3 h.
The principals showed a significant decrease in role overload ( < 0.001), role ambiguity ( < 0.01), role conflict ( < 0.05), under participation ( < 0.001), powerlessness ( < 0.001), intrinsic impoverishment ( < 0.01), law status ( < 0.001), and overall occupational stress ( < 0.001) after 7 days of yoga training intervention. However, there was no significant change in unreasonable group and political pressure ( > 0.05), responsibility for persons ( > 0.05), poor peer relations ( > 0.05), strenuous working conditions ( > 0.05), and unprofitability ( > 0.05) after yoga training intervention.
The present study suggests that 1 week of residential yoga training program can improve occupational stress in principals.
职业压力是指当工作要求与员工的资源、需求或能力不匹配时出现的有害身体和情绪反应，会导致身心健康不佳。
本研究的目的是评估为期1周的住校式瑜伽训练计划对校长职业压力及其子量表的影响。
33名年龄在40 - 59岁之间的校长完成了评估。他们在凯瓦利亚达摩瑜伽学院接受瑜伽训练。所有参与者均由中央学校委员会招募，作为其在职瑜伽训练的一部分。在基线时以及瑜伽训练1周后，对参与者进行职业压力评估。瑜伽干预在早晚进行，每次105分钟。除了瑜伽训练外，所有参与者每天还参加3小时基于压力管理、全面健康瑜伽、冥想、学校教育中的瑜伽以及瑜伽科学基础的讲座。
经过7天的瑜伽训练干预后，校长们在角色过载（<0.001）、角色模糊（<0.01）、角色冲突（<0.05）、参与不足（<0.001）、无力感（<0.001）、内在匮乏（<0.01）、法律地位（<0.001）以及总体职业压力（<0.001）方面均有显著下降。然而，在瑜伽训练干预后，不合理的群体和政治压力（>0.05）、对人的责任（>0.05）、不良的同事关系（>0.05）、艰苦的工作条件（>0.05）以及无利可图（>0.05）方面没有显著变化。
本研究表明，为期1周的住校式瑜伽训练计划可以改善校长的职业压力。
