The research on management strategies by the school principal for the managing
of the female teacher with burnout, is divided into six phases.
Firstly it is to determine what the nature of burnout in the female teacher is, what
the causes of burnout in the female teacher is, what the causes of burnout are,
which symptoms are detected by teachers suffering from burnout and what consequences
the burnout in female teachers may have for the learners, colleagues,
employer and for the female teacher concerned.
In the second place it is shown what strategies can be applied for the managing of
the female teacher suffering from burnout. A few recent models for managing
burnout are explained and strategies aimed at intra- en interpersonal skills, factors
related to the environment as well as group activities are discussed.
In the third place it is empirically determined to what extent female teachers in d1e
North West Province are suffering from burnout by means of standardised questionnaires
for the measurement of burnout.
Fourthly it is indicated how female teachers who differ with regard to home language,
medium of instruction in their schools, years of experience and !he area
where the school is situated, also differ with regard to the degree of burnout they
experience.
During the fifth phase of this study it is determined empirically, by means of questionnaires for principals, how principals are recently managing female teachers
with burnout The first ten strategies, according to the order of preference by
principals, are then discussed,

causes of burnout, which could be used by principals as managing strategies.
These strategies deal with the professional development of the female teacher,
acquirement of intra- en inter-personal skills as well as the management of demographic
and environmental causes of burnout. / Thesis (PhD)--PU for CHE, 1998
