“…These questions will need to be settled by future investigations that commence during the period of pre-service teacher training. Either way the present study is not the first to report high burnout levels in beginning teachers (Fimian & Blanton, 1987;Gold et al, 1991) and therefore the finding of high initial burnout scores should not be dismissed lightly without the advantage of contradictory evidence. Perhaps importantly, all respondents participating in the present study undertook their pre-service university training in the years immediately preceding this study, that is the study did not include any graduate teacher who took more than a two month break between completing their entry level training at university and commencing employment.…”

“…Controversially, the results of one of the very few investigations of burnout undertaken with a focus on beginning teachers disputes this logic. Fimian and Blanton (1987) used a survey methodology to compare burnout in less experienced teachers and trainees with groups of more experienced teachers and found the burnout rates in less experienced and trainee groups to be almost identical to that reported by more experienced teachers. This raises two and perhaps three important questions for burnout researchers.…”

This study investigated elements of school environments that explain variance in burnout scores in a sample of university graduands two years after they commenced work as teachers. Using a longitudinal survey methodology, 79 beginning teachers completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI: Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1996) on four occasions over a two year period, first six weeks after they commenced work as teachers and finally in the concluding term of their second year of teaching. Beginning teachers also completed the Work Environment Scale (WES: Moos, 1994) each time they were surveyed. The revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ-R/s: Eysenck & Eysenck, 1991) was administered when the graduands were first surveyed. In a series of hierarchical regression analyses, reports of how innovative the work environment was perceived to be added significantly to the explanation of variance in all three MBI subscales after first controlling for initial levels of burnout and the personality trait Neuroticism.

“…Normative values for the three dimensions were established with data collected from a representative range of workers in the social sector, including nurses, social workers, teachers, police officers and psychologists. Subsequent factor analytic examinations, for example by Fimian andBlanton (1987), Green andWalkey (1988), Gold, Roth, Wright, Michael, and Chen (1992), Soederfeldt, Soederfeldt, Warg, and Ohlson (1996) and Tang (1998) have provided supportive evidence for the threedimensional structure of burnout among various samples of human service personnel.…”

This study assesses the Oswald Clergy Burnout Scale (OCBI), the psychometric properties of which have not been previously described. Analysis of responses from a large number (N = 3,012) of ministers in charge of Australian congregations showed that the scale's internal reliability was satisfactory, and that the scale could be represented by two factors, identified as the personal and social aspects of burnout respectively. This structure was supported by confirmatory factor analysis. Several demographic and job-related variables that might relate to burnout were regressed on the total, personal and social factor scores. Age is the predominant (negative) predictor of burnout as measured by the total scale and the personal factor scores. All variables predict burnout as measured by the social factor.However, in all models, the predictor variables account for no more than 5% of the total variance. These findings suggest that demographic factors and working conditions are poor predictors of burnout among clergy.

“…When we look at their way of dealing with burnout syndrome, it is seen that these are researches based on relational screening model (Fimian & Blanton, 1987;Meier & Schmeck, 1985). National research in the literature are also relational (Aypay & Eryilmaz, 2011;Bas, 2013;Balkis, 2013;Capulcuoglu & Gunduz, 2013;Erturgut & Soysekerci, 2010;Gunduz et al, 2012;Guduk et al, 2005;Oren & Turkoglu, 2006;Saricam, 2012;Saricam & Sakiz, 2014;Saricam, Gulbahce, & Gulbahce, 2012).…”
