“…More specifically, age and experience are stably associated with the risk of burnout, although it is not yet clear whether being younger and less experienced [40] or older and more experienced [41] leads to greater risk of burnout. Gender and level of school are not consistently related to burnout: while some studies report that male [40,41] or female [42] (with regard to emotional exhaustion) teachers are more vulnerable to burnout, others show no association between gender and burnout risk [41,35]; similarly, some studies have found that the higher the level of the school in which the teacher works, the higher the risk [41,43], while other studies report no association between these variables [44]. Concerning relationships, most studies have identified poor relationships with students and colleagues as one of the most accurate predictors of burnout syndrome in teachers, particularly in relation to student misbehavior [45 -47] and colleagues' lack of collaboration and support [48 -50].…”

Background:Teachers are at-risk of burnout due to continuous emotional demands. Existing research suggests that there is a strong relationship between the burnout phenomenon and teachers' propensity to experience unpleasant emotions. Objective:The current study examined whether teachers' levels of burnout affect the process by which they appraise school-life events that elicit negative emotions. Methods:Participants were 316 school teachers. Teachers' appraisal of both students' negative emotion intensity (SAE) and their own negative emotion intensity (TAE) was evaluated via the Emotional Competence Questionnaire. Teachers' burnout levels were measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The main hypothesis was tested by using SEM to assess a full model. Results:The findings suggest that burnout compromises teachers' appraisal of both their students' and their own negative emotion intensity. Conclusion:We discuss how our main findings may be interpreted and explore their implications for educational settings.

“…Several studies have found that organizational factors and work features were more highly correlated with burnout than personal factors (Pagel & Wittman, 1986;Lecroy & Rank, 1987;Schaufeli & Janczur, 1994;Maslanka, 1996;Zellars et al, 2000;Rocca & Kostanski, 2001;Kırılmaz et al, 2003). In addition to organizational and work features, some demographic characteristics, such as age, gender and marital status were found to be related to burnout in several studies (Maslach & Jackson, 1985;Poulin & Walter, 1993;Sucuoglu & Kuloglu, 1996;Sarı, 2004;Lau et al, 2005;Siebert, 2006;Taycan et al, 2006;Sunter et al, 2006). Attention to these factors may alleviate symptoms of burnout among employees.…”

Teaching profession has been hit by high teacher turnover and attrition resulting in shortage of teachers in primary schools. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of occupational stress on job satisfaction among primary school teachers in Nandi County, Kenya. The main objective was to find the relationship between occupational stress and job satisfaction. This study adopted the explanatory survey research design. The study targeted a total of 1652 primary school teachers. Simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 312 teachers. The main data collection instrument was a questionnaire for the teachers. The data collected was analysed through the use of SPSS by regressing and correlating occupational stress and job satisfaction in order to determine the strength of the relationship. The study results indicated that there was a positive relationship between occupational stress and job satisfaction (β = .527, p = .000). The coefficient of determination (R 2 = .452) for the estimated model indicated that 45.2% of the deviations in occupational stress contribute towards job satisfaction among primary school teachers. A majority of the primary school teachers are dissatisfied with teaching and if given an opportunity would leave teaching for other professions. The study recommends that it is imperative of government and other stakeholders in education to ensure a high level of career satisfaction for highly qualified and experienced teachers.
