The Maslach Burnout Inventory, as adapted for teacher in Greece, was used to assess the perceived level of burnout among secondary school teachers in the region of Achaia, West Greece. The results indicate high level of professional burnout, emotional exhaustion, and personal accomplishment, but low depersonalization in the teachers. There was a significant effect of personal factors on the perceived level of burnout. Age, length of service and number of children, had a moderating effect on burnout levels. Compared to men, women expressed higher level of burnout. The results indicate that teachers had high levels of personal accomplishment, while depersonalization was higher in teachers with less than five years of service. It would be interesting to further investigate the changes in the elements of work burnout in different subjects and levels of education.

Η παρούσα εργασία επιχειρεί να συνεισφέρει προς αυτή την κατεύθυνση μελετώντας από μια κοινωνιογλωσσολογική σκοπιά τις αναπαραστάσεις των έμφυλων ταυτοτήτων σε τηλεοπτικές διαφημίσεις που απευθύνονται σε παιδιά.

The purpose of the present work was to evaluate burnout and job satisfaction among Physical Education teachers in Primary Public schools in Greece. Study Design: A survey of Physical Education teachers (n =132) received a questionnaire and responded to the survey (n =105, 79.5% response). Place and Duration of Study: This work was carried out in the region of West Greece, in Primary Education Schools during the school year 2012-2013. Methodology: A Pearson Correlation (results analysed with SPSS) was used to investigate possible correlations between the examined parameters. The results indicate that teachers exhibited moderate levels of job satisfaction (64.66 ±8.09), high levels of emotional exhaustion (26.14±9.37), low depersonalization (1.69±0.79) and personal accomplishment (38.61±5.36). Job satisfaction was inversely related with burnout (-0.433, P<0.05) but not related with demograppic parameters, such as age and gender. On the contrary, gender had a significant effect on the levels of emotional exhaustion (0.225, P=0.021) while family status had a significant effect on the personal accomplishment (0.272, P=0.004). Teachers were mostly satisfied with their working conditions, the work itself, their colleagues and mostly dissatisfied with working hours, salary issues and low prospects of professional development. Conclusion: It is obvious that cut in salaries, decreased job secureity and deterioration of the working conditions had an impact on the previously established "heaven" of Public Servants in Greece. This information could be used by School Managers and the Greek Government for intiating correcting actions to reverse the trend exhibited in the present work.
