Abstract

Based on the questionnaires of 331 beginning teachers in primary and secondary schools, the relationship between role stress and career commitment was investigated. The study reveals that the majority of beginning teachers are under relatively large pressure and their career commitment is moderately above the medium level. Correspondingly, role ambiguity and role overload can negatively predict career commitment of beginning teachers. Therefore, primary and secondary schools should take active measures to help beginning teachers relieve their role stress, help them adapt to their role faster and better, and then improve their career commitment.
