This article considers the relationship between teachers' burnout and organizational health in primary schools in Antalya. The research was designed as a survey. In order to collect data "Maslach's Burnout Inventory (MBI-ES) and Organizational Health Questionnaire" were used. Specific descriptive analyses which were conducted to calculate the data were percentage, frequencies, means, standard deviation, Pearson Correlations Coefficient, Multiple Linear Regression and Parametric tests. The findings show that teachers' burnout level was low in emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment and high in depersonalization. On the other hand, organizational health was reported to be high. All of the correlations between burnout and organizational health were significant. Consequently, it is significant to find that burnout is another factor affecting school health. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract

This article considers the relationship between teachers’ burnout and organizational health in primary schools in Antalya. The research was designed as a survey. In order to collect data “Maslach's Burnout Inventory (MBI-ES) and Organizational Health Questionnaire” were used. Specific descriptive analyses which were conducted to calculate the data were percentage, frequencies, means, standard deviation, Pearson Correlations Coefficient, Multiple Linear Regression and Parametric tests. The findings show that teachers’ burnout level was low in emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment and high in depersonalization. On the other hand, organizational health was reported to be high. All of the correlations between burnout and organizational health were significant. Consequently, it is significant to find that burnout is another factor affecting school health.
