Teachers’ Burnout: The Role of Trait Emotional Intelligence and Social Support

Abstract: The current study investigates the relations among teachers' trait emotional intelligence, internal and external social support, and their levels of burnout. We hypothesized that both emotional intelligence and teachers' perceived social support were associated with low level of teachers' burnout. We further expected that internal and external support mediated the relationship between trait emotional intelligence and burnout scores. Participants were 318 in-service Italian teachers.

“…The results are consistent with previous investigations among workers [9], [17], as was expected with this first model, considering that social support should focus on helping employees reach their goals successfully [7] and solving problems in the workplace [6]. In a population of teachers, it was found that the more social support (both inside and outside the school environment) they perceived, the less they experienced burnout; however, it is not shown whether it impacts on the 3 dimensions of burnout syndrome [15].…”

“…[1]. Current psychological literature widely addresses the role of teachers' personal resources [2][3][4][5][6][7], relationships with students [8,9], and individual professional resources [10,11] in managing the mentioned challenges. Despite the meaningful role of the teacher's individual contributions to these issues, collaborative practices and strategies seem to better fit such needs [12,13].…”

“…Son numerosas las investigaciones que están experimentando un giro hacia lo afectivo en el contexto de la psicología de la educación, como, por ejemplo: el efecto de la inteligencia emocional en el bienestar (p.ej., Geng, 2018;Nyarko et al, 2020); las percepciones del profesorado sobre sus interacciones con los estudiantes (p.ej., Hargreaves, 2000); la inteligencia emocional y las habilidades cognitivas protegen la salud de los estudiantes (p.ej., Nyarko et al, 2020). Los estudios sobre el papel de las emociones del colectivo docente han incrementado en estos últimos años (p.ej., Fiorilli et al, 2019;Uitto et al, 2015). Algunos autores revelan la importancia de la inteligencia emocional (IE) en la práctica docente (p.ej., Aparisi et al, 2020;Cejudo y López -Delgado, 2017;Puertas-Molero et al, 2020).…”
