“…Teachers' perceptions of and expectations concerning their own personal characteristics, relationships with students and colleagues, school resources and demands can have a major influence on their emotional experiences at school. For example, teachers who view themselves as capable of managing organizational and relational demands at school feel less anxious about their professional role [11].…”

Background:Teachers are at-risk of burnout due to continuous emotional demands. Existing research suggests that there is a strong relationship between the burnout phenomenon and teachers' propensity to experience unpleasant emotions. Objective:The current study examined whether teachers' levels of burnout affect the process by which they appraise school-life events that elicit negative emotions. Methods:Participants were 316 school teachers. Teachers' appraisal of both students' negative emotion intensity (SAE) and their own negative emotion intensity (TAE) was evaluated via the Emotional Competence Questionnaire. Teachers' burnout levels were measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The main hypothesis was tested by using SEM to assess a full model. Results:The findings suggest that burnout compromises teachers' appraisal of both their students' and their own negative emotion intensity. Conclusion:We discuss how our main findings may be interpreted and explore their implications for educational settings.

“…It explained 8% of the variance for emotional exhaustion, 4% of the variance for depersonalization and 22% of the variance for personal accomplishment. The last variable that was found to be in significant connection with all three dimensions of burnout was dissatisfaction with social support (Fiorilli et al, 2014). It was positively related to emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and negatively related to personal accomplishment.…”

“…Too much connection with colleagues may divert the attention away from the important tasks at work, thus individuals may feel a decrease of self-efficacy. According to the studies, a competent and relevant supervisor can have the effect of reducing burnout syndrome, as it has an influence on all of its dimensions (emotional exhaustion and depersonalization is in negative relation and personal accomplishment is in positive relation with it) (Fiorilli et al, 2014;Mazur & Lynch, 1989). Another important finding is that availability of the support rather than actual support coming from the supervisor has an influence on the level of burnout (Lee & Ashforth, 1993).…”

In this review study personality characteristics and workplace environment variables (with special attention to classroom conditions) areinvestigated regarding the phenomenon of teacher burnout in order to discover the basis of an effective intervention program. Regardingthe studies, the Maslach Burnout Inventory Educational Survey for burnout measurement(Maslach, Schaufeli, & Leiter, 2001)was applied in all of the researches. Samples have been collected from the USA and several countries of Europe. According to the results, workload and social support turned out to be major influencing factors as much aswork characteristicsare concerned, and positive affectivity, emotional stability and self-efficacy were the major influencing variables as much as personality characteristicsare concerned. As a conclusion of the correlating tendencies, a hypothesized model has been created, in order to explain the process of how an individual responds to his or her environment in the process of burnout, where the steps are: (1) emotional traits (e.g.: emotional stability, positive affectivity, extraversion) -> (2) perceived work environment and work characteristics -> (3) consideration about one’s ability to cope (self-efficacy, self-confidence) -> (4) choice of a coping strategy -> (5) influence on the level of burnout (either increase or decrease).
