AB - This study aims to address possible gender differences on the prevalence rate of burnout and the perception of stressors involved in its development. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted, in which 578 teachers from different teaching levels in public schools around Andalusia completed the Teachers  burnout Questionnaire-Revised (CBP-R; Moreno-Jiménez et al., 2000) and some socio-demographic questions. Results revealed that differences on the prevalence rate of burnout depended to great extent on the criterion used for labeling a person as burned out. In addition, results showed that men perceived higher levels of depersonalization and lack of professional accomplishment than women. Furthermore, gender explained differences on the perception of several stressors considered as antecedents of burnout in teaching. These findings have important practical implications for measuring burnout and for developing interventions directed to its prevention at work.
