Marcatto et al. found that in Europe stress-related absence was second only to musculoskeletal disorders while the EU-OSHA estimated that work-related stress cost European companies 20 billion euros per year and accounted for nearly 60% of lost working days. This chapter focuses on the under-researched area of stress amongst middle leaders in education. While it is widely reported that teachers face high levels of stress, as a result of organisational pressures, there is a paucity of research on middle leaders. This chapter considers whether there will be a significant negative relationship between self-reported levels of resilience and self-reported levels of stress amongst middle leaders.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/LeadershipEmotionsWork-related stressBook chapter
