### 2.9. GAPS IN LITERATURE
#### 2.9.2. LIMITATIONS OF EXISTING STUDIES
Many studies on workload and stress management in educational settings have primarily employed quantitative methods, which often overlook the rich qualitative experiences of both educators and students. According to Skaalvik & Skaalvik (2014), this focus on numerical data can lead to a narrow understanding of the complexities surrounding workload and stress in schools. While quantitative assessments provide valuable insights into the prevalence of stress and workload issues, they may not capture the intricate personal and emotional experiences that affect how teachers and students perceive and manage their workloads.
Moreover, existing research often lacks a longitudinal perspective, leaving a gap in understanding how workload and stress impact educators over time. Studies frequently rely on cross-sectional data that may not adequately reflect changes in stress levels and coping mechanisms throughout the academic year or in response to specific events or changes in the educational environment.
Another significant limitation is the underrepresentation of diverse educational contexts. Much of the research is centered on Western educational systems, which may render the findings less applicable to schools in different cultural or socio-economic contexts, such as Manyana Primary School. The unique challenges faced by schools in diverse regions necessitate localized studies that consider cultural, socio-political, and economic factors influencing workload and stress.
Furthermore, existing literature often fails to incorporate the voices of students and parents in discussions about workload and stress. A more holistic approach that includes these stakeholders can yield deeper insights into the effectiveness of current stress management strategies and identify areas for improvement.
Lastly, many studies tend to focus on the negative aspects of workload and stress without considering positive practices or strategies that have been successfully implemented in educational environments. By ignoring successful case studies and effective management techniques, the literature does not provide a comprehensive view of how to enhance well-being and mitigate stress in schools.
