The present study describes and compares the characteristics and manifestations of psychosocial hazards of social workers and teachers and shows interrelations to resulting strains. The sample consists of 239 social workers and 227 teachers; the data was gathered online using the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ). The data was compared to other professions from the COPSOQ-database (Nübling et al. 2011). Variance-analytical results show bigger influence on work, greater possibilities for development, but higher demands and worse outcomes. Regression analysis show, that the outcomes are explicable through the psychosocial hazards. To protect and to preserve the psychosocial health there is a need for action in the investigation of possible causes as well as on the level of prevention and intervention.
