| dc.description.abstract | Teachers are exposed to a prolonged amount of stress in a daily basis, which results in burnout. This study aims to determine the influence of gender and age on teachers’ susceptibility to experience burnout. Thirteen teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), aged twenty to fifty years old, six males (46%) and seven females (54%) participated in this study. The data was collected using as instrument the questionnaire on the Maslach Burnout Inventory – Educators Survey – (MBI-ES) and a structured and semi-structured interview. The implications of this study show that young male teachers are more susceptible to experience detachment and lack of accomplishment and inefficacy, and female teachers (no limit of age) are more likely to be susceptible to emotional exhaustion, all of them, dimensions of burnout syndrome. Los maestros están expuestos a una carga diaria de estrés, misma que con el tiempo se transforma en “burnout”. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar la influencia de edad y género en la susceptibilidad de los profesores para experimentar burnout. En este estudio participaron trece maestros de inglés, seis hombres (46%) y siete mujeres (54%), cuyas edades fluctúan entre veinte y cincuenta años. Los datos fueron recolectados usando como instrumentos el cuestionario Maslach Burnout Inventory –EducatorSurvey – (MBI-ES) y una entrevista estructurada y semiestructurada. Los alcances de este estudio muestran que los maestros jóvenes, de género masculino son más propensos a padecer de desapego emocional e ineficacia y las maestras (sin discriminación de edad) son más susceptibles de experimentar desgate emocional, todos estas dimensiones de burnout. | en_US |
