Adversity Quotient, Perceived Mental Health, And Role Stress of College Teachers

Abstract

This article aims to develop a fresh approach in resolving job related role stress. It begins by investigating why handling role stress has become such an important research topic and has been achieved by critical analysis of various literature. The focus is on exploring adversity quotient and perceived mental health as measures to reduce stress while performing the role on job. The association between respondents’ adversity quotient, which includes qualities (control, origin-ownership, reach, and endurance), and perceived mental health with work role stress are evaluated. Using a sample of 380 respondents and performing data analysis on smart PLS, it is revealed that there is a substantial moderate correlation among the exogenous and endogenous variables with R2 = 0.451. According to the findings of this study, Adversity Quotient, along with perceived mental health, has a significant impact on stress while performing job role. The article contributes by filling a gap in management and organization literature, in which role of adversity quotient and perceived mental health are studied in dearth.
