ABSTRACT: Occupational Burnout is a massive occupational
psychopathology syndrome that is related to many negative outcomes for the
individual and the organization. One of the most prominent occupations in the
burnout literature is the teaching profession. Teachers seem to be more prone
to high burnout levels. The present study examined the burnout levels in Greek
Teachers and tried to answer whether the phenomenon is affected by gender, age,
marital status, number of children and years of service. Results show that even
though burnout is not gender related, it is affected by the working conditions
and other demographic variables such as marital status. Further implications
for research and practice are discussed.
