The article features the professional burnout syndrome in teachers. Teaching is one of the most stressful social activities. The authors pointed out personal traits that may determine the development of the professional burnout syndrome in school teachers. They identified, justified, and experimentally verified the relationship between burnout and personality parameters. Together with age, work experience, marital and parental status, these personal traits can serve as burnout predictors. The article gives a general description of the emotional burnout phenomenon in teachers, which includes negative psychological experiences caused by the regular high emotional content or cognitive complexity. The paper also introduces factors of development of emotional burnout. The authors identified the burnout predictors based on the results of an empirical study. They determined strong empathy and internality as provoking factors that triggered emotional stress.

The syndrome of emotional (professional) burnout is the state of emotional, mental exhaustion, physical exhaustion, which arises as a result of chronic stress at work. It is a result of the interaction of objective stressful environmental impacts and subjective sociopsychological characteristics of an employee. The structure, stages and indicators of burnout syndrome are theoretically analysed. The study of factors contributing to professional burnout was carried out on the staff of the European Union Advisory Mission (EUAM) in Ukraine. It was found that about a quarter of the sample has a high integral index of burnout, which is more often manifested through depersonalization and reduction of professional and personal achievements, but emotional exhaustion is less common in our subjects. The analysis of the relationship between the indicators of emotional professional burnout and some socio-psychological indicators of the subjects in our sample showed that the most important for preventing of burnout occurrence are impulsiveness, practicality and internal intrinsic motivation. Positive correlations with burnout rates (can contribute to its emergence) are the duration of service in missions and such coping strategies as search for social support, cautious, manipulative, antisocial and aggressive actions.

The article deals with the results of the study on burnout syndrome among teachers with various work experiences in university. The aim of the study is the review of burnout psychological patterns among teachers with various work experiences in university. The main hypothesis of the study is based on the assumption that the teachers whose work experience in departmental universities is more than 10 years are more vulnerable to the burnout syndrome development. In order to attain the envisaged goals and to test the hypothesis there were used empirical methods: differential diagnosis of decreased functioning by A. Leonova and S. Velichkovskaya, diagnosis of professional burnout by K. Maslach and S. Jackson adapted by N.E. Vodop’yanova, technique for diagnosing the burnout syndrome level by V.V. Boiko. Group comparison of teachers with various work experiences in university has shown that long term professional activity leads to burnout syndrome development: the most part of examined teachers are characterized by high level of burnout syndrome which structure is observed in high intensity of resistance and exhaustion phases and such syndromes as inadequate emotional discrete response; resignation or depersonalization, emotional and moral disorientation; psychosomatic and vegetative disorders.

Researchers surveyed secondary school teachers characterizing the signs of emotional burnout during the educational process in a distance format. We considered preventive measures. The study aims to research the possible development of emotional burnout among teachers in the conditions of distance learning. We conducted a study with the participation of 72 teachers to identify signs of emotional burnout using the V.V. Boyko questionnaire and conducted statistical data processing using Statistica 13.0. The average age of teachers was 47.1 years; the majority were women. In addition, 70,0% of Teachers noted that they have chronic diseases. Based on the results obtained, we concluded that school teachers' lack of work experience in the conditions of distance learning and online classes was a traumatic circumstance for almost half of the teachers, which could serve as a triggering mechanism for the stages of development emotional burnout. Subjectively, teachers associated the formation of symptoms of emotional burnout and health disorders with two-thirds of all cases with working conditions, its intensity, and difficulties with maintaining a healthy lifestyle in self-isolation. The revealed indicators of the phases of the development of emotional burnout allow us to judge that 45.9% of teachers have a formed/dominant symptom of "experiencing traumatic circumstances" registered in the "tension" phase. 31.2% of teachers have a symptom of "anxiety and depression". There are high rates of symptoms of "inadequate selective emotional response" - 54.1% in the "resistance" phase, "emotional and moral disorientation" - 32.8%, "expansion of the sphere of saving emotions" - 31.1% and "reduction of professional responsibilities" - 50.8%. In the "exhaustion" phase, the symptom "psychosomatic and psychovegetative disorders" has a dominant value in 22.9% of teachers. Factors that, according to teachers, contribute to the formation of emotional burnout are: the intensity of work in the conditions of distance learning (61.1%); violation of lifestyle components (36.1%); lack of access to a doctor (29.2%). To prevent the formation of emotional burnout syndrome in the conditions of distance learning: it is necessary to observe for teachers the work and rest regime in compliance with the working time regulations within the framework of official duties and an employment contract, compliance with the rules of a healthy lifestyle, high-quality medical care, and mandatory professional development on online training.

The aim of the research is to determine the relationship between Burnout Syndrome in the framework of the COVID-19 pandemic and the virtualization of education in Colombian official school teachers during the year 2020. The study responds to the mixed approach and sequential design. In its quantitative phase it was deductive-hypothetical, applied, with a non-experimental cross-sectional design, and in its qualitative phase it was inductive, applied with a phenomenological-hermeneutic design. The data collection techniques used were the survey and the interview. The study population consisted of 1093 teachers from official schools in Floridablanca. For the quantitative approach, a non-probabilistic accidental sample of 110 teachers was used, and for the qualitative approach, a non-probabilistic convenience sample of 10 teachers was used. Among the final considerations it can be said that there is an inverse mean correlation between Burnout syndrome and the virtualization of education in this time of the Covid-19 pandemic; it is therefore considered that the effects of the pandemic have maximized the effects of the aforementioned syndrome on educational actors.

Professional isolation has hampered the quality of the work experience for employees in and outside public education for decades. This study explores the role that perceived isolation plays in predicting the quality of the work experience among new principals. The analysis tests whether isolation serves as a mediator in the relationship between factors that are known to affect the quality of work life of principals (social support; role stress; and participation in a structured coaching relationship) and three dimensions of burnout. Regression analysis supports the framework that places isolation as a mediator in predicting physical and emotional burnout, but does not support this role for cognitive burnout.

The article presents the results of a longitudinal study of the factors of professional burnout of contact center employees, such as length of service, intensity of activity, professional success and professional motivation. The research was conducted in 2 stages. The total sample size was 78 respondents: 53 of them were examined at the first stage, 25 — at the second stage. The study showed that professional burnout is a multifactorial and complex process that does not directly depend on such factors as work experience, professional effectiveness, and professional motivation level. The risk of professional burnout syndrome increases if the structure of professional motivation is dominated by external and narrowly social motives. On the other hand, it decreases significantly, if employees can realize personal motives, values, and meanings in their professional activities.

The results of an assessment of professional burnout of media workers are presented. Recommendations on reduction of the burnout syndrome impact are provided. The assessment was conducted using the professional burnout diagnostics method by K. Maslach and S. Jackson adapted by N.E. Vodopyanova. The burnout syndrome is considered to be a three-dimensional component consisting of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal achievement reduction. The study involved Irkutsk regional newspapers, radio broadcasting, television and Internet media. A total of 155 people participated were surveyed: 113 females and 42 males. Most of them suffer from the professional burnout syndrome. To verify the results obtained, age and work experience were taken into account. According to the results obtained, the degree of depersonalization increases with aging. The longer the participant works, the stronger the depersonalization component. The personal achievement reduction also depends on these components. The younger the editorial staff member and the shorter his/her work experience, the stronger the negative self-esteem, underestimation of own professional achievements and success. Conversely, the more mature the journalist is, the more positively he evaluates his professional competence and creativity. At the same time, emotional exhaustion manifests itself in all respondents, regardless of their age: in two studies, the average and high degrees were revealed. It is this component that makes a contribution to the professional burnout of journalists. To reduce the impact of the syndrome, a set of preventive measures has been developed. They can prevent economic and resource losses, and increase labor productivity. The methods of preventing professional burnout are aimed at preventing emotional exhaustion, and in extreme cases - at relieving negative symptoms and combating negative consequences. They can improve productivity of media workers and reduce psychosocial risks.
