Relationship between the burnout syndrome and type A behavior pattern in teachers

The present study tries to determine the relationship between Type A Behaviour Pattern (TABP) and burnout syndrome in a sample of 417 nursery, elementary and middle school teachers (175 males and 242 females). The Jenkins Activity Survey, Form H (JASE-H) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Form Ed (MBI-Ed), were administered to asses TABP and burnout, respectively. After conducting bivariate correlation, T-test and binomial logistic regression analyses results showed that TABP is an excellent predictor of the burnout syndrome phases.
