Many studies show that teachers are more frequently affected by mental and psychosomatic illnesses compared to other occupational groups (e.g. Hasselhorn & Nübling, 2004; Scheuch, Haufe & Seibt, 2015). Mental and psychosomatic illnesses are among the main reasons for early retirement of teachers (Scheuch et al., 2015; Weber, Weltle & Lederer, 2004). The percentage of teachers taking early retirement due to disability was twelve percent in 2016 (Statistisches Bundesamt, 2017). In addition, research findings show that teachers' emotional exhaustion has a negative impact on students' motivation as well as their academic performance (Arens & Morin, 2016; Klusmann, Kunter, Trautwein & Baumert, 2006; Klusmann, Richter & Lüdtke, 2016).
