Abstract

ABSTRACT Burnout Syndrome is a disorder resulting from chronic stress at work. It affects workers from different areas, including teachers. This is a systematic review study with the objective of verifying the association between psychosocial factors at work (PFW) and burnout in elementary education teachers. Articles from the PubMed, Scielo and Capes Journals databases, published between 2014 and 2018, that used the Maslach Burnout Inventory in the burnout evaluation were analyzed. The results showed a variable prevalence of burnout among teachers. In addition to infrastructure problems, high work demands, lack of autonomy, poor quality of relationships, and physical and psychological violence experienced in schools were the main risk factors for burnout. It is recommendable that we consider the psychosocial and organizational factors of work in the prevention actions of Burnout Syndrome.
