Description
Summary:This study focuses on the impact of burnout dimensions on the intention of female teachers in Israel to leave their current jobs. The 21 items on the A. Pines, E. Aronson, and D. Kafry (1981) Burnout Scale were factor analyzed and classified as physical, emotional, or mental and then correlated with intention to leave by using a multiple regression analysis. Both physical and mental exhaustion were found positively and significantly to influence intention to leave. The influence of emotional exhaustion was not significant; nor were the teachers' ages. Tenure was negatively and significantly correlated with both burnout and intention to leave.
