The Challenges on The Work Stress of Young College Teachers in L University

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges encountered by young college teachers at L University and proposes coping mechanisms to address these challenges. The challenges identified in this study include workload, lack of experience, high expectations, work-life balance, and interpersonal dynamics. Through a comprehensive review of relevant literature and interview of key informants, this research examines the specific context of L University. Based on the findings, coping mechanisms are suggested, such as effective time management, professional development opportunities, clear communication of expectations, setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, building support networks, and developing conflict resolution skills. Implementing these coping strategies can help young college teachers effectively manage their work stress, improve job satisfaction, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. By addressing these challenges, L University can foster a supportive and conducive environment for young teachers, promoting their professional growth and well-being.
