| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between personality types and occupational stress of teachers in private higher education institutions of Addis Ababa. The study employed correlational research design and the lottery method was used to select 154 participants. Two instruments were used which were Big Five Inventory (BFI) and Teachers Occupational Stress Scale (TOSS). To analyze the collected data, both descriptive and inferential statistics were applied. The findings of the study revealed that 30.3% of the teachers experienced a low level of stress, 42.8% experienced moderate levels of stress, and 26.9% experienced high levels of occupational stress. Female teachers score significantly higher occupational stress (M=57.74, SD=11.24) as compared to the males (M=47.76, SD= 5.24) and the t-test yielded a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of male and female teachers on the overall occupational stress scale (t=-4.491, df=143, P=.000, α=0.05). The result also indicated that there is a significant negative correlation between occupational stress and conscientiousness (r=-0.442, p<0.05), agreeableness and occupational stress (r=-0.371, p<0.05), and extraversion and occupational stress (r=-0.347, p<0.05). However, there is no statistically significant relationship between openness and occupational stress of teachers (r=-0.002, p>0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between neuroticism and the occupational stress of teachers (r=0.211, p<0.05). Moreover, the results revealed that personality has a statistically significant negative link with occupational stress (r=-0.338, p<0.05) | en_US |
