Abstract

One of the main issues in studying teacher burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) Japanese version or the Japanese Burnout Scale has been the inconsistent or ambiguous factor structure found for this burnout scale. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the statistical factor structure of the Japanese Burnout Scale for elementary school teachers. A group of 540 elementary school teachers responded to questionnaires. Two models of factor structure were examined via structural equation modeling. Results showed three factors in the Japanese Burnout Scale for elementary school teachers: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment. Finally, theoretical explanations of the findings and implications for future research were discussed.
