Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an occupational burnout within the American University-Central Asia or there is not. Occupational burnout is a type of emotional stress resulting in exhaustion, feeling of meaninglessness, lack of enthusiasm and inefficiency at the work place. Burnout consists of three scales: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. During the research the surveying method was used. The questionnaire included demographic questions and Maslach Burnout Inventory questions. As a result of the research, the relationship between occupational burnout and several factors like presence of children, age and years of work were found
