Abstract

The purpose of study was to investigate the effects of teaching challenges on teacher's counterproductive behaviors mediated by job stress and role overload. The research method was descriptive-correlation. Among all novice teachers in Khash city in the academic year of 2021-2022 (N=310). By stratified-stratified sampling and according to Cochran's sampling formula 172 teachers were selected as the research sample. The data were collected through questionnaires of teaching challenges (Mohammadi et al., 2020), teacher's counterproductive behaviors (Hosainpoor Toolaazdehi, Zainaabaadi, Alimardaani & Kord Firoozjaaee, 2016), Teachers Stress (Saremi, Noori Anvar, Khodakarim, Tabatabaei & Ramezankhan, 2022) and role overload (Singh & Singh, 2020). The correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data by using SPSS and Smart PLS softwares. Based on the findings, the direct and indirect effects of teaching challenges on teacher's counterproductive behaviors through mediation of job stress and role overload was positive and significant. Therefore, it could be concluded that novice teachers who face teaching challenges experience job stress and role overload, and as a result, show counterproductive behaviors in the classroom.
