Fear of COVID-19 and its related complications can negatively affect well-being and contribute to less effective daily and professional functioning. Based on Maslach's burnout concept, this study aimed to verify the relationship between risk of contracting and fear of COVID-19, occupational burnout and job satisfaction in Polish teachers during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Three hundred fifty-two teachers, aged between 22 and 68, participated in this study. In the studied sample, 252 people worked remotely, 41 in-person and 59 were hybrid workers. The Risk of Contracting COVID-19 Scale, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Brief Job Satisfaction Scale were used.
Risk of contracting COVID-19 was positively related to fear of COVID-19 and emotional exhaustion. Moreover, fear of COVID-19 was negatively related to personal accomplishment and positively related to emotional exhaustion. Lastly, all three dimensions of occupational burnout were significantly related to job satisfaction. There was no direct relationship between fear of COVID-19 and job satisfaction. This relation was mediated by two scales of occupational burnout: personal accomplishment and emotional exhaustion. All three subscales of occupational burnout were significant predictors of job satisfaction, explaining 53% of its variance.
The current study showed a relationship between the risk perception of COVID-19, occupational burnout and job satisfaction in Polish teachers during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results obtained in the study may contribute to the understanding of the effects of the pandemic for the professional group of educators.
对新冠病毒及其相关并发症的恐惧会对幸福感产生负面影响，并导致日常和职业功能的低效。基于马斯洛的职业倦怠概念，本研究旨在验证在新冠疫情第二波期间，波兰教师感染新冠病毒的风险、对新冠病毒的恐惧、职业倦怠与工作满意度之间的关系。
352名年龄在22岁至68岁之间的教师参与了本研究。在研究样本中，252人远程工作，41人现场工作，59人是混合工作模式。使用了感染新冠病毒风险量表、对新冠病毒的恐惧量表、马斯洛职业倦怠量表和简短工作满意度量表。
感染新冠病毒的风险与对新冠病毒的恐惧以及情感耗竭呈正相关。此外，对新冠病毒的恐惧与个人成就感呈负相关，与情感耗竭呈正相关。最后，职业倦怠的所有三个维度都与工作满意度显著相关。对新冠病毒的恐惧与工作满意度之间没有直接关系。这种关系由职业倦怠的两个量表介导：个人成就感和情感耗竭。职业倦怠的所有三个子量表都是工作满意度的重要预测因素，解释了其53%的方差。
当前研究表明，在新冠疫情第二波期间，波兰教师对新冠病毒的风险认知、职业倦怠与工作满意度之间存在关联。该研究所得结果可能有助于理解疫情对教育工作者这一职业群体的影响。
