Exploring the Relationship between Teacher Burnout and Job Satisfaction among BS Education Graduates

Abstract

The present study focuses on the correlation of teacher burnout with job satisfaction among BS Education Degree Holders of University of Narowal. The study sought to explore the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction among teachers, and to uncover the drivers of burnout. This study used a quantitative research design with 150 BS Education graduates from the Department of Education as a sample. Using descriptive statistics, doing correlation analysis, and regression analysis, data were collected through a structured questionnaire measuring burnout and job satisfaction levels. Teacher burnout was negatively correlated to job satisfaction (r = -0.386), while emotional exhaustion and lack of administrative support were identified as major burnout causes. On the flip side, factors like professional development opportunities, a positive climate at school, and work-life balance increased job satisfaction levels.
