The Role of Headteachers in Promoting Teachers' Work Ability
Original language description
The work of teachers has a fundamental social value because education can ensure economic growth and technical and scientificdevelopment in any society (Vedovato & Monteiro, 2018). The teaching profession is characterized by high stress and physical complaints,a high workload, relatively high absenteeism, and early retirement (Grabara et al., 2018). The current age structure of teachers indicatesseveral problems in higher secondary education that can occur in the future. The ageing of the teachers may be linked with higherabsenteeism or a general shortage of teachers in schools. These problems may be caused not only by individual factors (reduced workingability) but also by factors related to the work performed (characteristics of the job performed, working conditions) (Hlaďo et al., 2020). This research is part of a project focused on perceived work ability among lower secondary school teachers. Part of this project is aimed atthe role of the headteachers and their leadership in promoting teachers' work ability. Considering the aim of the research and researchquestions, a qualitative approach has been chosen to bring participants' perspectives regarding how headteachers support teachers' workability. This research design provides a rich understanding of how teachers' work ability is promoted and allows us to capture thecomplexity and nuances of this process.
