Abstract

This study investigated how school organizational characteristics and social support predicted burnout in teachers. A questionnaire of Maslach Burnout Inventory as well as social support scale and questions about school organizational characteristics was administered to 287 teachers of elementary and junior high school. A covariance structure analysis demonstrated that school organizational characteristics had a direct effect on burnout, emotional support buffered the burnout effect, but instrumental support did not. These results should suggest that teachers' personal relationship with school management and colleagues need to be improved, and teachers specifically needed emotional support, in order to reduce teacher burnout.
