Abstract

This study examined the effect of job satisfaction and satisfaction with life on perceptions of teachers' professional burnout and the regulatory role of collective teacher efficacy perception by conducting applied research on teachers who work in different educational settings. The measuring tools were "Maslach Burnout Inventory", "Short Form Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire", "Satisfaction with Life Scale" and "Collective Teacher Efficacy Scale".

Summary

Introduction

Educational organizations like all other organizations should take the behaviour of staff into consideration to achieve the desired goals and increase productivity and quality (Alkış & Güngörmez, 2015; Selvitopu & Şahin, 2013).

Teachers determine the future of students who are the future of a society (Recepoğlu, 2013). One of the most important factors affecting professional life and career of teachers is the perception of professional burnout.
