The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between job stress among public kindergarten teachers in Taipei City and their acceptance and subjective evaluation to install Closed-Circuit Televisions (CCTVs) in classrooms. This study assumes that job stress is a long-term and sustained condition that should be regarded as the cognitive background of teachers. Meanwhile, the degree of teacher acceptance and subjective evaluation towards installing CCTVs is considered to be the psychological reaction to job stress in the long term, and is assumed to be a “result” in the causal relationship. Although this assumption differs from the main discourse in current literature, it is supported by the empirical results of this study. The study uses an online questionnaire to survey teachers who taught in public kindergartens in Taipei City, and conducted analyses using structural equation modeling and multiple linear regression. The empirical results indicate that stress of parent-teacher communication is indeed a key factor (cause) affecting teachers, acceptance and subjective evaluation of installing CCTVs, as well as their sense of real stress, which is consistent with the emphasis on the importance of the relationships for parent-teacher communication in current literature. More importantly, this study found that teachers may have relatively more negative evaluations of CCTVs and lower acceptance to install CCTVs due to anticipation before the CCTVs are installed. However, teachers’ negative evaluations of CCTVs and low acceptance to install CCTVs tended to decrease significantly after the CCTVs were actually installed. |
