Educational Research Quarterly, v41 n1 p3-14 Sep 2017
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between certain demographic factors and elementary school teachers' burnout. The sample consisted of 144 elementary school teachers (98 male and 76 women) selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected by: (1) Personal Information Form developed by the researchers, and (2) Dworkin Burnout Inventory (1981). The validity and reliability of the Inventory were confirmed. The results revealed a significant difference between teachers' sense of powerlessness (one of the burnout dimensions) and their marital status and gender. Also a significant relationship was found between meaninglessness (another dimension of burnout) and teachers' number of children.
