The primary aim of this study was to ascertain whether teacher burnout is accompanied by
physiological, psychological and behavioural symptoms.
The Maslach Burnout Inventory was used to ascertain the levels of burnout among a sample
of 282 Indian teachers of all ranks in ex - House of Delegates schools in the Kwazulu - Natal
region. The Burnout Manifestations Scale was used to elicit those symptoms which burned
out subjects exhibited the most. While 23 % of the sample appeared vulnerable to burnout,
7% appeared to be already burned out. It was found that with a few exceptions, the sample
was susceptible to a lesser or greater degree to almost all of the symptoms listed in the
Burnout Manifestations Scale.
As no significant differences between the groups was detected in the selected demographic
variables, it can be concluded that anyone, irrespective of their sex, marital status or any
other variable, can become vulnerable to burnout. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Psychology of Education)
