Abstract

The aim of the research is to compare the occupational burnout and organizational commitment of physical education, sports and other branch teachers working in sports high schools. 513 physical education and sports teachers and 568 other branch teachers working in sports high schools throughout Turkey participated in the research. Data collection tools of the research are “Personal Information Form”, “Maslach Burnout Inventory” and “Multidimensional Organizational Commitment in Teachers” scales. The comparison of burnout and commitment of physical education and sports and other branch teachers was determined by single-sample T-test and multi-sample Anova test. Burnout and commitment scales in the research; teaching branch (p<0.05), gender (p<0.05), age (p<0.05), marital status (p<0.05), educational status (p<0.05), professional seniority A significant difference was detected in the sub-dimensions (p<0.05) and sports high school working time (p<0.05). It can be said that it can be beneficial for the teachers working in the sports high school to develop themselves professionally and to follow the developments in the teaching branches closely.
