Self‐efficacy, school resources, job stressors and burnout among Spanish primary and secondary school teachers: a structural equation approach

“…Presently however, most authors consider burnout as a syndrome which comprises the three dimensions proposed by Maslach and Jackson (1986) and Maslach, Jackson and Leiter (1996), known as the central symptoms of burnout (De Heus & Diekstra, 1999). The first, most central, aspect is emotional exhaustion, which is characterised by a feeling of being emotionally overextended and mentally drained.…”

In one study, Travers and Cooper (1993) found that more than thirty percent of British teachers perceived their jobs as stressful with reports of increasing pressure.…”

Prevalência e factores associados à Síndrome de Burnout nos professores de ensino especial

“…Verifica-se que os profissionais da educação vêm recebendo uma crescente atenção por parte de vários investigadores (Batista et al, 2010;Byrne, 1991;Carlotto, 2012;Heus & Diekstra, 1999;Levy, Nunes Sobrinho, & Souza, 2009). Os resultados encontrados atestam para a severidade de Burnout nestes profissionais de ensino, em que se enquadra esta categoria profissional, identificada como de alto risco (Farber, 1991;Heus & Diekstra, 1999;Kovess-Masféty, Sevilla-Dedieu, Rios-Seidel, Nerrière, & Chan Chee, 2006).…”

Além disso, quando comparada com outras profissões, a categoria docente apresenta um nível maior e significativo de Burnout (Heus & Diekstra, 1999;Mallmann, Palazzo, Carlotto, & Aerts, 2009).…”
