Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the extent of teachers’ emotional burnout prevailing among teachers in three dimensions as Emotional Exhaustion (EE), Depersonalization (DP), and inadequate Personal Accomplishment (PA) at school level. Burnout Inventory (BI) was used to assess the emotional state of teachers. Multi stage sampling technique was used to draw the sample of 380 (male= 179 and females= 201) school teachers. The ultimate purpose of the study was met by highlighting some of the unheard and unattended concerns and problems of teachers prevailing within their work environment. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and t-tests. The findings of the study demonstrated the level of teachers’ emotional burnout with various intensities with regard to their gender and marital status. It suggested the avenues for future studies to highlight the effect of other variables that put the internal involvement of teachers in doubt.
