A Study on the Relationship Between Burnout and Job Satisfaction of Iranian EFL Teachers Working in Universities and Schools

“…The results obtained were in agreement with findings from other studies, where job satisfaction and burnout had a high negative relationship (Atmaca, 2017;Charalambous, 2012;Daniilidou, 2013;Kara, 2020;Karavasilis, 2019;Papastylianou, Kaila, and Polychronopoulos, 2009;Robinson et al, 2019;Sotirios et al, 2019;Torkaman et al, 2017;Vousiopoulos, et al, 2019;Wisnu, 2019;Yu-Hsia and Mei-Hsiang, 2019). According to Papastylianou, Kaila, and Polychronopoulos (2009), factors which could possibly influence teachers' job satisfaction, are the existence of strong and consistent social relationships.…”

“…The findings also represented that by increasing teachers' emotional exhaustion, their job satisfaction decrease. These findings were in line with the results obtained by some of the previously conducted studies (Atmaca, 2017;Bhana and Haffejee, 1996;Kara, 2020;Koeske, et al, 1994;Vousiopoulos, et al, 2019), where job satisfaction and burnout represented medium to a high negative relationship. According to the results of the study, teachers reported high degrees of dissatisfaction regarding promotion, which was in parallel with the study of Tye and O'Brien (2016).…”

In addition, Kara (2020) argued that teachers' burnout and job satisfaction represented significant differences according to gender, marital status, experience and workplace.…”
