Abstract

AbstractThis study attempted to identify the unique components of burnout among school principals using Facet Theory as a theory construction tool. A total of 571 elementary and secondary school principals in Israel completed a questionnaire containing items relating to their feelings about themselves, their environment and work. Data were analyzed employing Small Space Analysis (SSA). Results indicated that burnout among school principals may be presented in a two‐dimensional space, incorporating: experiences (weariness or discontent), and the focus (internal or external) of those experiences. Four components of the burnout phenomenon in principals emerged in this two‐dimensional space: exhaustion, self‐discontent, aloofness, and deprecation.
