| Summary: | The present study examined whether physical education teachers working in
government/aided sector and private sector of upper primary and secondary schools experience
the same burnout levels. One hundred twenty full-time Kerala physical education teachers from
government/aided and private (60 each) of upper primary and secondary schools filled in the
“educator’s” version of Maslach Burnout Inventory. Analysis of variance showed that physical
education teachers working in the upper primary schools reported significantly and meaningfully
higher levels on the core burnout dimension, namely emotional exhaustion” in comparison to
their colleagues in the secondary schools. Moreover, the strength of association among the three
burnout components was more prominent in private sector than in government sector. The results
shows that the education level in which physical education teachers working represents an
important job characteristic that influences burnout levels and should be taken into consideration
when this syndrome is examined, at least within the Kerala educational system. |
