Abstract
This book chapter will focus on exploring the relationships between conflict management, communication, burnout, organizational support and effective strategies to cope with workplace stress in PK-12 school districts. The majority of work on conflict management focuses on corporations and for-profit organizations. However, teachers in PK-12 school districts are an important component of a country’s workforce. This book chapter would discuss empirical research work that has examined these constructs from the teacher’s perspective who are working in PK-12 school districts. Specifically, the relationships between conflict management, communication, burnout, organizational and coworker support will be examined. The strategies that teachers utilize to cope with stress and burnout will be discussed.
