| description | Teachers perform numerous professional roles that can serve as the source of
prolonged stress and lead to the occurrence of burnout syndrome. This
research was aimed at studying the personal factors of burnout, using
self-determination theory as a starting point. We used a sample of 200
teachers to study the following: the level of satisfaction of basic
psychological needs at work, the prominence of self-orientations and the
presence of burnout syndrome. We also studied whether these variables were
significant burnout predictors, as well as whether there was a difference in
the pattern of personal burnout predictors in primary school and university
teachers. The following instruments were used: the scale of satisfaction of
basic psychological needs at work, the ego function questionnaire, the scale
of burnout syndrome in teachers. The results point to a relatively moderate
satisfaction of all psychological needs, a higher level of integrated
self-regulation as well as the medium presence of ego-invested and impersonal
orientations. On the whole, teachers showed low burnout. Significant burnout
predictors include an integrated self and the need for autonomy (university
teachers) and an impersonal self (primary school teachers). This implies that
teachers whose psychological needs are satisfied and who have an integrated
self are less susceptible to burnout. The findings are discussed from the
viewpoint of the self-determination theory, their educational implications
and the possibility of preventing work burnout in education workers.
