| Summary: | Several studies have highlighted the alarming work situation of university teachers. The teaching field, together with research work, increases levels of stress and burnout. It is essential to study how some psychosocial factors may affect the non-verbal language of university teachers. The objectives of this research were (a) to develop and adjust an explanatory model of the relationship between stress levels, burnout syndrome, emotional intelligence and non-verbal communication and (b) to study the differences in the theoretical model according to the sex of the participants. This exploratory and cross-sectional research was carried out on 1316 Spanish university teachers. The following instruments were used for data collection: Perceived Stress Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory, Trait Meta-Mood Scale and Non-verbal Immediacy Scale Self-report. The results showed a direct relationship between stress and emotional exhaustion. An indirect relationship was also found between depersonalization and self-efficacy,the latter being stronger in women. The effect of emotional repair on emotional exhaustion was inverse and stronger for males. As conclusions, there are differences in the effect of psychosocial variables on the non-verbal communicative processes of university teachers according to gender. |
