Examining Empirical Studies on Teacher Burnout: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the empirical studies on teacher burnout between 2000-2017. This study was designed as a systematic review examining 33 studies included in EBSCO, ERIC, SCOPUS and ULAKBIM databases and conducted in the Turkish context. The results revealed that a set of organizational and individual variables were associated with teacher burnout. The individual variables related to teacher burnout were self-efficacy beliefs, positive feelings and views, excessive control or suppression of feelings and views, a personality type prone to emotional imbalance, high level of external locus of control, having unrealistic expectations about education and school, monitoring teacher behaviours, and age. Organizational variables were job satisfaction, perceived administrative support, an environment of cooperation, support and trust, deviant student behaviours, and school climate. In this regard, the results of the study showed that teacher burnout was a construct associated with a set of both individual and organizational variables.
