Welcome to COPSOQ!
Excursus into the wide range of activities offered by the FFAW: survey of teachers in Baden-Württemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia
In addition to surveys on psychological stress in the workplace in companies, the FFAW also conducts these surveys in schools on behalf of the Ministries of Education and Cultural Affairs.
As part of the third round of surveys, which will be conducted from 2024 to 2027, all teachers in Baden-Württemberg (BW) and North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) will be comprehensively surveyed. The COPSOQ questionnaire will be used, which has been supplemented with teacher-specific questions, thus enabling a more precise analysis of psychosocial stress in the teaching profession.
For the first time, the influence of digitalisation and mobile working on the mental health of teachers was taken into account in the current round of the survey.
In Baden-Württemberg, the survey comprises a total of 9 tranches and covers around 3,950 schools and school nurseries. Around 120,000 teachers will take part in this survey. A parallel survey is also being conducted in North Rhine-Westphalia: Here, 5 tranches are planned for the five administrative districts, covering around 4,850 schools and around 200,000 teachers and educational state employees. Once a tranche has been successfully completed, each school will receive a results report - ready to be passed on!

What is COPSOQ?
The questionnaire on mental stress at work
The COPSOQ (Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire) is a cross-sector and cross-occupational questionnaire. It is based on the scientific model of a cause-effect relationship between psychological working conditions (stressors) and reactions of working people (consequences of stress or strains).
