Περιγραφή:Teacher stress in Mexico is a significant issue that negatively impacts educational performance and quality. Teaching vocation and emotional intelligence may serve as protective factors; however, their relationship with perceived stress remains underexplored. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between teaching vocation and perceived stress among Mexican teachers. A quantitative, non-experimental design was employed, involving 636 teachers from various educational levels. Participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14), the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, and the Teaching Vocation Questionnaire (CVOC-D). Statistical analyses, including descriptive, correlational, and mediation analyses, were conducted using JASP 0.16.2 software. Significant negative correlations were observed between perceived stress and the components of emotional intelligence and teaching vocation. Mediation analysis demonstrated that teaching vocation directly and indirectly reduces perceived stress, primarily through emotional self-efficacy, emotional appraisal, and emotional regulation. Teaching vocation and emotional intelligence function as protective mechanisms against stress, enhancing teachers’ capacity to manage the emotional demands of their profession. Future research should incorporate qualitative approaches to explore the contextual factors influencing teachers’ stress perception and coping strategies in greater depth.
