working at public schools in Kütahya, Turkey data collected from 386 teachers

burnout. Great amount of teachers feel tired at least occasionally. Female
teachers feel tired more than their male counterparts. Male teachers feel
trapped, worthless and unsuccessful more than their female colleagues. Teachers
