Item COVID-19 and principals' levels of stress, burnout, and intentions to quit : a correlational study(2023-08-11) Barrios, Sandra; Reyes, Pedro, 1954-; DeMatthews, David; Reyna, Sylvia; Pena , RaulThis study examined the relationship between principals’ levels of stress, burnout, and intention to quit after the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, it aimed to identify the levels of stress and burnout principals experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic and their intentions to leave the profession. The two research questions were: (a) What is the relationship among principals’ levels of stress, burnout, and intentions to quit? (b) Are there any variations of levels of stress, burnout, and intentions to quit at the intersections of race, gender, and experience? The research design was correlational, and a cross-sectional survey was distributed via email link to principals. The researcher utilized the Region 10 principal database to develop a target population of easily accessible respondents who meet the sampling criteria. The sampling criteria required that participants must have been elementary school principals during the 2019-20 academic year when the COVID-19 pandemic began. The two null hypotheses were rejected. First, the bivariate Pearson r coefficients for all three variables showed statistically significant evidence accompanied by medium to large effect sizes for the positive relationships. Second, at the intersections of race, gender, and experience, gender, job stress, and job burnout predicted whether principals would have an intention to leave their jobs, F (6, 101) = 38.74, p < 0.0001, and the overall regression model’s coefficient of determination was 0.697, representing a large effect size.
