Purpose: This study aims to provide a causal framework for teacher burnout (BO) and work engagement (WE) by examining the factors that contribute to it and evaluating how progressive education (PE) affects teachers' performance in Higher education institutions (HEIs). Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a multi-stage sampling technique…

Western countries have placed a lot of importance on school inclusion policies in the last decade. Strong promotion of these policies encourages teachers to express egalitarian attitudes and behaviours towards all students. However, at the same time teachers may experience feelings of discomfort because of perceived difficulties and powerlessness…

The purpose of this study was to identify whether there is a difference in the average levels of burnout, as defined by Maslach and Jackson's (1981) three-factor model, experienced by higher education staff members depending on their occupational role or job title. This investigation responded to the problem of increasing levels of stress and…

Purpose: The present study was intended to investigate the relationship between teachers' self-efficacy, sentiments and concerns toward disability and burnout in pre-service special education teachers. Design/methodology/approach: Three hundred seventy-two special education teachers participated in the study. Participants were administered the…

The purpose of this study was to identify special education teachers' profiles in relation to their levels of burnout, work engagement and job satisfaction, following a person- oriented approach. This approach was chosen in order to provide cfombinations of attributes that shape high-risk groups of low engagement and high burnout. Additionally, it…

The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to develop a new framework for the burnout equation and to examine the relationships which exist among three key factors; teacher burnout, psychological well-being at work, and authentic leadership. Participants in the study included 335 Canadian teachers, 299 of which were from the province…

As an example of how historical events may influence the findings and interpretations of a randomized trial, we use a school-based evaluation of a classroom management program that was conducted in a nearby district before and after the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri (N = 102 teachers and 1,450 students). The findings suggest that…

This study explores the effects of teachers' implicit ethnic expectations and burnout on their evaluation of student performance. Ethnic minority students frequently encounter disadvantages in education, which may be partly attributed to these factors related to teachers. During the academic year of 2021/2022, 55 teachers from a central region of…

Burnout is an increasing concern among working professionals; however, relatively little research has examined burnout among those in the childcare field. This is a major gap, given high demand for childcare services in the United States coupled with high rates of turnover in the field. Between February 2019 and January 2020, 320 home- and…

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the entire U.S. education system, with many educators experiencing high levels of stress and burnout as they navigate the increased challenges. This study focused on the burnout experienced by heads of microschools, which are small, community-based schools that typically serve fewer than…

The feasibility of implicitly assessing medical student burnout was explored, using the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP), to measure longitudinal student burnout over the first two years of medical school and directly comparing it with an existing explicit measure of burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory; MBI). Three successive cohorts…

Objective: To assess faculty and staff beliefs about returning to campus as well as their mental health and healthy lifestyle behaviors. Participants: Faculty and staff at a large Mid-west public land-grant university. Methods: A survey was emailed to a random sample of faculty and staff (N = 6,000 faculty; N = 6,000 staff). Results: Response rate…

The importance of highly qualified and effective school staff is unquestionable, but so is the problem of turnover schools. The nature and relation between burnout and turnover intentions in our nation's schools is unclear and interventions thus far ineffective. Thus, the current study aimed to examine this relation testing demoralization,…

The problem addressed by this study was the high rates of burnout experienced by special education teachers. Teacher burnout is seen as a problem for districts, schools, and students with disabilities. The purpose of this qualitative explanatory case study was to explore the perceptions of special education teachers in New York State regarding the…

Grounded in self-determination theory, this study examined the explanatory role of teachers' need-based experiences in the association between teachers' perceived social pressure (i.e., from the principal, colleagues, and students) and their personal adjustment and motivating teaching style. In total, 482 secondary school teachers (M age = 39.9…
