Examination of Teachers' Burnout Levels in Terms of Various Variables

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to examine the burnout levels of teachers working in schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education. Correlational survey model was used in the study. The sample of the research consists of 421 teachers working in primary, secondary, high school and science and art center (SAC). Maslach’s (1981) Burnout Scale was used as the data collection tool. For the analysis, one way analysis of variance and independent samples t-tests were used. The result indicated that there was a significant difference between female and male teachers in the subdimension of depersonalization, which illustrates that male teachers’ burnout level in the subdimension of depersonalization is higher than female teachers. It was also indicated that single teachers’ burnout level was higher than married teachers except for the personal accomplishment subdimension. Additionally, there was a statistically meaningful difference in the subdimensions of emotional burnout and depersonalization depending on the age variable, according to which teachers who are between the ages of 51 and 60 perceive a higher level of burnout than other age groups.
