Abstract
Knowledge about the relationship between personality traits
and workplace burnout in teachers is predominantly based
on the operationalisation of personality as a stable construct
(global personality) and the operationalisation of workplace
burnout by means of the Maslach et al. model. However,
according to contemporary conceptualisations, personality
can also be considered as a context-dependent construct. In
addition, Schaufeli et al. have presented their own
conceptualisation of burnout at work, which, in contrast to
Maslach et al.'s model, is based on clear theoretical
assumptions. The aim of the study was therefore to
investigate the relationship between personality and burnout
at work based on the contemporary conceptualisation of
personality (global versus contextualised) and burnout at
work (Schaufeli et al. model). A correlational study was
conducted with a sample of 142 secondary school teachers.
The research findings point to the contribution of the global
and contextualised personality dimensions to the dimensions
of burnout in the workplace.
