Abstract:
With the advancement of economic globalization and the deepening of reform, China’s higher education is transitioning from elitism to popularization. While various universities are expanding their enrollment, the demand for a stable and high-quality teaching staff is also increasing. In the changing times, university teachers have a more arduous mission and responsibility, bearing enormous pressure in teaching, scientific research, and other work. At the same time, the group of university teachers is also troubled by the issue of fairness compensation. As a traditional helping industry, university teachers are a group prone to job burnout. Some studies have shown that compensation unfairness, and high occupational pressure is important influencing factors of job burnout. Based on this situation, this study combed the past literature, investigated the public university teachers in Hefei through questionnaires, and investigated the compensation fairness, occupational pressure, and job burnout of university teachers.

Based on the results of data analysis, the study proposed the faculty well-being program.
