Abstract. The article presents the results of a survey of 800 teachers 399 from kindergartens and 461 from schools. The level of occupational stress and bullying experienced and job satisfaction are examined, and differences between teachers at different educational stages, depending on age and length of service, are outlined. Overall, teachers have a moderate risk of burnout - in the main they perceive low levels of bullying from colleagues and managers, students and parents, professional stress and boredom, and maintain rather high levels of job satisfaction and administrative support. This does not preclude the need to maintain an environment that provides prevention and maintenance of satisfaction and motivation, which is supported by the relationships outlined in the results. Effective self-regulation is directly dependent on the perceived characteristics of the workplace environment.
