GOMES, Ana Paula Rodrigues  and  QUINTAO, Sónia dos Reis. Burnout, satisfação com a vida, depressão e carga horária em professores. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2011, vol.29, n.2, pp.335-344. ISSN 0870-8231.

The purpose of the present investigation was to study the relationship between burnout, satisfaction with life, depression and the workload in teachers of several teaching levels, in a sample of 308 teachers, 123 of the male gender and 185 of the female gender, with an age average of 41,63 years old (SD=10,12). The following measures were used: Maslach Burnout Inventory (Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1996), Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, 1984) and Beck Depression Inventory (Beck, Steer & Garbin, 1988). The results showed that teachers with a larger workload presented more symptoms of depression, but the data didn’t show a relationship with burnout or satisfaction with life. Women showed higher levels of burnout, in terms of depersonalization and emotional exhaustion in comparison to men.

Keywords : Burnout; Depression; Satisfaction with life; Teachers; Workload.
