Research on the Sources and Countermeasures of Occupational Stress among Young University Teachers

This paper focuses on the issue of occupational stress among young university teachers, and analyzes its core sources. In the aspect of economy and life, housing mortgages, family care burdens, and salary mismatch cause stress. In terms of career development, fierce competition for professional title promotion, rigorous research assessments, and scarce opportunities for advanced studies exacerbate anxiety. From the aspect of environmental adaptation, challenges in applying new technologies, occupational uncertainty, and weakened interpersonal interactions impose a psychological burden. To address these issues, the article proposes countermeasures from three aspects. The first is to strengthen economic security and life service support, such as optimizing salary subsidies and flexible working mechanisms. The second is to improve career development paths and assessment systems, including implementing classified assessments and multiple promotion channels. The third is to build a support network integrating psychological counseling, technical support, and interpersonal interaction, to help young teachers relieve stress and integrate into the work environment.
