Feelings of burnout are widely thought to be a contributing factor to low employee retention for outdoor expeditionary program (OEP) field instructors. The purpose of this study was to examine how certain job demands and resources influence levels of burnout among OEP field instructors. To address this aim, the following study evaluated feelings of burnout, perceptions of job demands and perceptions of job resources among outdoor expeditionary field instructors at the end of their summer season. Although field instructors generally reported low levels of burnout, regression analyses provided a means by which to better understand the role certain factors had on feelings of burnout. Stress aiding personal characteristics with the addition of stress mediating conditions served as significant predictors for feelings of burnout. Findings from the study are examined and discussed from a conservation of resources and job demands-resources model perspective.
