EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS AND JOB‐RELATED STRESS ON SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS

Abstract

With data secured from 256 school principals in Manitoba, the study examined the impact of external environmental constraints upon the various types and sources of job‐related stress. Results indicated external pressures triggered extra‐organizational, intra‐organizational as well as the less obvious intrapersonal stress. Constraints from external sources therefore constitute a major dimension that cannot be ignored in understanding the complex phenomenon of school administrators' stress.
