ROMERO, Valeria; NUNEZ, José Carlos; FREIRE, Carlos y FERRADAS, María del Mar. Adaptive psychological functioning and burnout in teachers and how they affect teaching processes. Psychology, Society & Education [online]. 2023, vol.15, n.1, pp.1-10. Epub 18-Mar-2024. ISSN 1989-709X. https://dx.doi.org/10.21071/psye.v15i1.15345.
Given the high levels of burnout in the teaching profession, there is a growing interest in identifying the personal resources that would favor the positive psychological functioning in this group. From this emerging perspective, the present study had two objectives: (1) analyze the effect of psychological capital and job satisfaction on burnout in teachers; (2) determine how this syndrome affects the instructional practice (self-efficacy for teaching self-regulation strategies and teaching approach adopted). A structural equations model analysis was carried out with 113 teachers (90.3% women; M age = 38.13; SD = 11.01) from pre-school, elementary school, compulsory secondary education and Bachillerato [optional higher secondary education]), selected through a convenience sample. Psychological capital and job satisfaction were shown to be negative predictors of burnout. In turn, this syndrome showed a direct negative effect on self-efficacy, and an indirect one on the student-centered teaching approach. These findings suggest that psychological capital and job satisfaction can be valuable resources to reduce teacher burnout and favor their adaptive job performance.
