Abstract
This study examined the relationship of teachers’ perceptions of coping resources and demands to job satisfaction factors. Participants were 158 Advanced Placement Statistics high school teachers who completed measures of personal resources for stress prevention, classroom demands and resources, job satisfaction, and intention to leave the field of teaching. Results indicated that teachers’ preventive coping resources and job satisfaction were positively related, whereas both constructs were negatively related to classroom stress and teachers’ plans to leave the profession.
