Abstract
This paper provides new evidence on the link between primary and secondary teacher workload and wellbeing for five predominately English-speaking education systems (England, Australia, Alberta-Canada, New Zealand, United States). It illustrates how, by ignoring potential non-linearities and measurement error, previous research may have missed key aspects of the workload-wellbeing relationship. We also demonstrate how the time that teachers spend marking is the key driver of workload stress and poor levels of workplace wellbeing across English-speaking countries.
