Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The occupational burnout resulting from the high levels of stress which teachers face is a phenomenon that may have severe consequences on both teachers themselves and the educational process as a whole. Factors contributing to primary education (P.E.) teachers’ occupational burnout are also the constant requirements for professional development, increased workload, difficult working conditions and high expectations from parents and society. The work-related stress that P.E. teachers face is a serious issue that calls for attention and must be dealt with, both by teachers themselves and the educational system stakeholders overall. What are Greek P.E. teachers’ views about the occupational burnout and the factors causing it? What are the consequences of the occupational burnout of P.E. teachers on themselves and the educational process? How are teachers dealing with it? This paper aims at answering these questions.
