Sažetak
The paper investigates the sources of stress at work for kindergarten teachers. Its aim is to explore various sources of stress in kindergartens in the City of Zagreb, as well as stress intensity regarding years of work experience and education group in which they have been working. The study involved 257 kindergarten teachers from Zagreb, aged 22 to 65. For research purposes, the Scale of Assessment of Stress at Work for the Kindergarten Teachers was used. The scale describes situations the kindergarten teachers encounter on a daily basis and asks them to estimate to what extent particular situation is stressful. The research has shown that the greatest intensity of stress in kindergarten teachers is caused by parent behaviour. Additionally, prolonged work experience reduces stress in certain situations. The research results contribute to a better understanding of the work of kindergarten teachers and specific sources of stress in their work environment. They should help in further development of recognition, prevention and solution measures.
