Burnout Sebagai Mediator Antara Kebersyukuran Pada Kesejahteraan Psikologis Guru di Sekolah Inklusi dan di Sekolah Luar Biasa

Abstract

The treatment for students with special needs (PDBK) in school is carried out by teachers that have special competencies compared to teachers in general. They play a role both as assistant teachers and teaching staff by means of a learning method specifically designed based upon the needs of PDBK. Considering the hard duties of the teachers of PDBK, psychological well-being is then needed by the teachers of PDBK in providing assistance to students with special needs, and parents – sometimes as a mediator for subject teachers. The subject of this research is 202 teachers who handle PDBK as the special assistant teachers in inclusive schools and teachers in Special School. Data were collected using three instruments: psychological well-being (PWB) scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-GS) and Gratitude Scale (ShS). Then, they were analyzed using mediation analysis technique through the Jamovi application. Burnout was found to be capable of being a mediator between gratitude and PWB (β = 0.042, p=˂ 0.01), and it contributed a total effect of 27.6% with partial mediation result. The correlation between gratitude and PWB was β = 0.061, p = ˂ 0.001, while burnout towards PWB was β = 0.084, p=˂0.001. The results of this study described the psychological well-being of teachers who handle PDBK.
