Assessment of High School Teacher Burnout Using the Teacher Burnout Inventory (TBI) in the USA and Iran

The present study investigates teacher burnout levels in two different countries. For this purpose, we will first provide a definition of teacher burnout and will then try to predict the burnout levels among 501 high school teachers in the United States of America and in Iran. We will employ 5 factors including administration, teacher, job conditions, emotional exhaustion, and student motivation. The t-test is used and the relative contributions of demographic factors are weighted. The results reported on different scales use descriptive means, standard deviations, and the alpha coefficient for reliability. The results of the present study may be used in the development of future intervention targets for reducing teacher stress and burnout. According to the above factors, we did not find any significant differences between Iranian teachers and the USA teachers.
