“…As for age, it is also possible to encounter studies in the literature having contradictory results. Although there are some studies (Seferoğlu et al 2014;Koruklu, et al2012, Maslach, et al, 2001 revealing that age is a significant predictor of teachers burnout, studies (Mclauchlan, 2010;İkiz, 2010;Aydoğan, et al2009, Budakand Sürgevil, 2005 indicating results similar to the present study in general concluded that, age is not among significant predictors of burnout. Another finding of the research which shows that marital status of the teachers is not a significant factor on three burnout levels is also in line with some of the studies in the literature (Gold, Bachelor, 2001;Farber, 1984, Budak and Sürgevil, 2005, Tümkaya, 1996 However, previous research study results revealed contradicting results in terms of marital status.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between some individual characteristics, learned resourcefulness and burn out on the one hand and the relationships between burn out and learned resourcefulness on the other. The participants in this research included 163 English teachers teaching in the schools located in Malatya. The participants were asked to anonymously fill out a questionnaire involving three parts which respectively investigated their background, burnout level and learned resourcefulness (Rosenbaum's Learned Resourcefulness Scale and Maslach Burnout Inventory). The findings indicated that more than half of the teachers possess moderately high level of learned resourcefulness and they are experiencing burnout at moderate level in three aspects of MBI. In addition, the analysis suggested an inverse relationship between learned resourcefulness and the three burnout subscales: as learned resourcefulness increases, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment decrease. Furthermore; the independent variables (age, gender, and marital status) were not found to be significant in learned resourcefulness and any of the burnout dimensions. "The school type" is the only variable which was found to be significant in the three burnout sub-dimensions. Results are discussed in the light of current literature and suggestions were provided.

“…Moreover, the sense of low success causes individuals to lose their motivation for working (Saglam & Cina, 2008). As the teaching profession requires selfsacrifice and effective communication, and as it emotionally effects the individual, it can be said that it is a high probability for teachers to feel exhaustion (Seferoglu, Yildiz, & Avci Yucel, 2014). One of the consequences of exhaustion in the education system is a decrease in the teaching and learning effectiveness.…”

“…In this process, excessively crowded classrooms form a source of professional exhaustion by causing a sense of fatigue and failure in the teacher, and a decrease in her/his energy and desire (Demir & Kara, 2014;Kayabasi, 2008). Besides the average class size, it can be said that teachers' gender, and their seniority in the profession also affect their enthusiasm and burnout levels (Budak & Surgevil, 2005;Ozer, 2021;Seferoglu et al, 2014).…”

This study was aimed to investigate the impact of several demographic variables and teacher burnout on teaching enthusiasm. The descriptive correlational model was used. The study sample was comprised of teachers from high schools (9th-12th grades) in Antalya, Turkey during the fall semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. 366 teachers fully completed the questionnaire in 52 high schools. Data were obtained through two scales, namely the Teacher Enthusiasm Scale, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Two models were implemented for teaching and subject enthusiasm, separately. Each model included three demographic variables and three sub-dimensions of teacher burnout as predictors of teachers’ teaching and subject enthusiasm. The binary logistic regression analysis was used in the study. The analysis showed that gender and seniority as demographic variables were found to be significant predictors in the teaching enthusiasm model. The average class size was the only variable which was not significantly effective on teaching and subject enthusiasms. Emotional exhaustion and decreasing sense of personal accomplishment were found to be significant predictors for teaching and subject enthusiasm, while emotional exhaustion was the dominant predictor. Also, depersonalization was not a significant predictor of teaching and subject enthusiasm as sub-dimensions of teacher enthusiasm. That the relations’, which can directly and indirectly define the relationship between enthusiasm and burnout in the literature being greatly ignored forms the justification of the current study

“…Since teaching profession is excessively demanding, requires effective communication, and leads one to suffer from emotional burnout, it is acknowledged as one of the professions with a great likelihood of burnout (Seferoğlu, Yıldız, &Yücel, 2014). Therefore, the three aspects of burnout is closely related to a teacher's psychological and physical well-being, perceptions of their job, and how they deal with it.It is necessary to maintain teacher's well-being so that they can provide students a good learning environment.…”
