Abstract
On a sample of283 helpers the degree ofjob burn-out andfactors related to a heighten level ofburn-out were examined. Thefactors were: characteristics ofhelper's role, ejficiency oftime use, type oforganization in which the helper works (governmental or non- governmental), helpers age, and helper's professional role (professional, non-profes- sional, paraprofessional). Job burn-out was found to be related to characteristics of the helpers role and time use. Results showed that the helpers who were employed in governmental organizations manifested higher degree of burn-out, and that younger helpers manifested higher degree of burn-out than the older. Helper's professional role was not significantly related to job burn-out.
