Investigating the Burn-Out Levels of Turkish Preschool Teachers

Burnout of Primary Teachers in Qatar Government Schools during an Era of Educational Reform

“…The literature remains elusive whether gender has an effect on teachers' stress and burnout. While some studies revealed that female teachers tend to be affected by emotional exhaustion more than male teachers (Arvidsson et al, 2016;Kabadayi, 2015;Kokkinos, 2007), some studies report that male teachers are more emotionally drained than female teachers (Al-Ayasrah & Abdel Rahman, 2013;Al-Farah, 2001;Bricheno et al, 2009;Gumaiha, 2012), and other studies found no effect of the gender variable on the burnout level (Bakhit & Hassan, 2011;Dbaby, 2012;El-Omari & Freihat, 2011;Ozan, 2009;Paleksic et al, 2015). Previous literature did not corroborate a pattern of gender and burnout level, and there are no previous studies in Qatar that provided reasons for gender differences.…”

“…Several studies found an effect of gender, level of education, or years of experience on teachers' burnout levels and others not. For example, some studies found significant differences in burnout levels in at least one burnout dimension between female and male teachers favoring females (Arvidsson et al, 2016;Kabadayi, 2015;Kokkinos, 2007;Maslach & Jackson, 1981). However, other studies found that male teachers suffer from burnout more than females in one or more burnout dimensions (Al-Ayasrah & Abdel Rahman, 2013;Al-Farah, 2001;Gumaiha, 2012;Maslach & Jackson, 1981).…”

“…Although some studies showed no main effect on the teachers' years of teaching experience (Al-Frehat & Al-Rabadi, 2010;Dbaby, 2012;El-Omari & Freihat, 2011;Gumaiha, 2012;Hammett, 2013;Kabadayi, 2015;Soleman & Edrees, 2007), Al-Mashikhy (2013), Kokkinos (2007), Paleksic et al, (2015) found that the more experienced teacher, the higher the burnout level in at least one of the burnout dimensions. On the other hand, many studies showed that the younger the teacher or, the less experienced the teacher is, the higher the level of burnout in at least one of burnout dimensions (Goddard & Goddard 2006;Hammett, 2013;Kabadayi, 2015;Maslach & Jackson, 1981).…”

A Temporal-Causal Modelling Approach to Analyse the Dynamics of Burnout and the Effects of Sleep

“…The classical definition of a burnout, as given by Maslach and Jackson [13], is nowadays still relevant: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment are since then still described as the core elements of the burnout syndrome [10]. Maslach created the first measurement instrument for burnouts called the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI).…”

Exploring the Relationship between Burnout and Critical Thinking Skills among Iranian University Professors Teaching TEFL

“…The term emotional burnout is mostly used to describe the emotional condition of the people providing professional assistance for their customers in an emotionally rich atmosphere (Madaliyeva, Mynbayeva, Sadvakassova, & Zholdassova, 2015). This alarmingly growing problem occurs when the people can not defeat the pressure of such vocations (Kabadayi, 2015). In this regard, particular attention must be paid to the professional activity of teachers as their occupation requires special emotional tension, high mental workload, intensive concentration, and constant contact with students and colleagues all of which lead to anxiety and mental stress (Satybaldina, 2015).…”
