Keywords: stress, novice teachers, mentors, causes of stress, effects

Abstract: This article focuses on the study of stress experienced by novice teachers at the beginning of their professional career. The study included two groups of participants - directors of educational institutions and novice teachers. The purpose of this study is to clarify the underlying causes and consequences of stress and to understand how mentoring in educational institutions influences stress management in novice teachers. The first part of the study focused on novice teachers and their perspectives on the causes through a projective "Finish the Sentence" methodology and the consequences of stress through focus group work. The second part of the study analyses the opinions and views of principals on the mentoring support provided to novice teachers. The results show that mentoring plays a key role in the adjustment of novice teachers and helps them cope more effectively with the challenges of their new professional role.
