Burnout Syndrome in School Teachers at the beginning and end of the year

Abstract

Burnout syndrome is a state of mental and physical exhaustion that reduces the enjoyment an individual normally derives from his or her career, friendships, or family interactions. It is also frequently encountered in business life and is a type of stress. A person suffering from burnout cannot enjoy his previous life, in many cases this situation affects the quality of life of the person so much that it negatively affects the person's relationship with others and work life. Sometimes a person can even not want to get out of bed. Burnout is also common among teachers. Teaching is a field that requires them to balance the workload, build empathy, and successfully establish student-teacher relationships, which is why teachers often experience burnout syndrome. Burnout in teachers can be different at the beginning and end of the school year. Some teachers have high expectations from the students from the academic year, they get to know the students at this stage and in addition, they search for various rich materials for them. During the research, attention was paid to the comparative analysis of burnout among school teachers at the beginning and end of the year, the factors affecting it, and their relationship with socio-demographic variables was investigated. Also, there is a significant relationship between job satisfaction and burnout.
