Abstract

This study aims to examine the level of organizational stress and fatigue in physical education teachers in terms of various demographic features. A questionnaire was applied to physical education teachers in Hatay within the framework of this study carried out with relational scanning model. 311 physical education teachers in total took part in this research. The data were analyzed with the help of programs called SPSS 15.0, minitab 13.20 V. and STATISTICA 7.0. The results obtained following the analyses were interpreted in compliance with 5 % significance level and in a 95 % confidence interval. The research findings point out that physical education teachers generally suffer from a highlevel of organizational stress but nonetheless their level of fatigue (except for the sub-dimension of individual accomplishment) is quite low. The analyses, carried out in demographic variables, suggest that variables such as age, education and level of income do not differ in level of stress and fatigue but variables such as sex, marital status, course load and seniority do. © Sila Science.
