Abstract

the present study examined the moderating effects of communication of the relationship between job stressors, burnout and job satisfaction differently depending upon gender. A questionnaire was administered to 187 teachers(119 male and 68 female). The Results showed that job-related communications of co-worker negatively moderated the relationship between job conflict and burnout in male teachers. Similarly job-related communications of co-workers nefatively moerated the relationship between job overload and job satisfaction in male teachers. Non-job related communications of co-workers negatively moderated the relationship between job ambiguity and job satisfaction in female teachers. From these findings, we revealed the differential effects of communications according to gender on the relationship between job stressors, burnout and job satisfaction. Implications and limitations of the results and suddestions for future study were discussed.
