4. Discussion and Conclusion
Our performed research had the ambition to contribute to clarification of relations between
teacher’s stress and teacher’s personal features related to coping with load – proactive coping and selfefficacy
of teachers. Lazarus (1991, in Schwarzer & Schulz, 2001) considers stress as active, developing
process, created by causal precursors, mediating processes and direct effects. He assigns to causal
precursors personal variables and environmental variables. Mediated processes deal with coping and
evaluation of requirements and resources. Experienced stress and coping bring direct effects related to
psychological state of well-being, somatic health and social interaction
