BACKGROUND: With the rapid advancement of the educational reform, the requirements for primary and secondary school teachers are increasing, which makes the work pressure of teachers become greater, which can lead to a variety of mental health problems. It is the primary task to promote the psychological health of primary and secondary school teachers by analyzing the stress of teachers and putting forward reasonable countermeasures. OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to analyze the direct and indirect effects of occupational stress on the mental health level of primary and secondary school teachers. METHODS: 317 teachers from 6 rural primary and secondary schools in Zhejiang province were selected as research subjects. A questionnaire was designed to collect information of occupational stress, mental health, and social support scores. The teachers were compared for differences in gender, marriage status, class teacher, occupational stress, and mental health. The correlation among occupational stress, mental health, and social support was analyzed by structural equation model. RESULTS: The occupational stress of male teachers was higher than that of female teachers in self-development, work load, and career expectation, and the mental health was lower than that of female teachers in work (P <  0.05). The occupational stress of married teachers was significantly higher than that of unmarried teachers, and their mental health was significantly higher than that of unmarried teachers (P <  0.05). The occupational stress of teachers with senior professional titles was lower than that of teachers with primary and intermediate titles in the dimensions of self-development, work load, and career expectation (P <  0.05). The occupational stress of class teachers was higher than that of non-class teachers in terms of student factors, work load, and career expectation (P <  0.05). The direct path coefficient between occupational stress and mental health was –0.421, and the indirect path coefficient between occupational stress and mental health was –0.172. CONCLUSIONS: The occupational stress of male, married, class teacher, and teacher with the primary and intermediate titles was significantly greater than that of female, unmarried, non-class teacher, and senior title teacher. In conclusion, the occupational stress of primary and secondary school teachers can not only directly predict the mental health level, but also indirectly affect the mental health level through social support.

During April 1941, Dalmatia was divided between Italy and as it was then called the Independent State of Croatia (N. D. H.) With the Treaty of Rome (18. V. 1941) Italy annexed a part of Dalmatia. It was divided into the three provinces of Zadar, Split and Kotor. The people and youth of Dalmatia were surrounded by fascist ideology and propaganda, and education was undertaken according to fascist ideology (carta della scuola) — »School Charter« which implemented this. The Italian fascist powers little by little introduced their own teachers, most of them from continental Italian regions, of which practically all were organised and armed fascists. Many of our primary and secondary school teachers left their positions in schools, and many were arrested by the Italian authorities. Secondary school pupils in Split demonstrated against diplomas Written in the Italian language, and pu- pupils of the Teachers’ Training School in Šibenik opposed in various ways lessons which were given in Italian, so that the authorities closed the schools, arrested the pupils and sent them to concentration camps or prisons. Because of the denouncement of a pupil, school master Čiro Gamulin was tortured to death in prison. Plupils in primary and secondary schools continued to oppose the Italians in various ways.266

The purpose of this study was to investigate the applicability of the Principal Leadership Questionnaire (PLQ) to Greek educational context and to present the most important aspects describing educational leadership in a centralized educational context. It was sought to examine; a) the factorial structure of PLQ b) its invariance across teachers’ levels of education and c) its concurrent validity. Data were collected from 730 Greek primary and secondary school teachers of 77 schools. Teachers were asked to fill in the PLQ and Teacher’s Satisfaction Inventory (TSI). A bi-factor model was selected as the most tenable among five completive PLQ structures to describe teachers’ responses. Moreover, PLQ was found to be invariant across primary and secondary school teachers. Multiple-group analysis results indicate that primary, compared to secondary school teachers, reported more often that their principals behave as a transformational leader. On the contrary, secondary school teachers’ perceptions revealed that their principal implemented practices related to factor “intellectual; stimulation” more often than primary school teachers. Structural equation modeling showed that the general factor of the PLQ significantly and substantially predicted the “principal” facet of teachers’ job satisfaction, providing evidence of concurrent validity of the Greek version of the PLQ. Implications and suggestions for future research and policy are discussed.
