Abstract

The problem investigated in this study is the influence of the leadership styles of principals on burnout as experienced by teachers. A total of 431 teachers from the Mafraq Education District in Jordan answered and returned questionnaires. The Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Administrative Styles Questionnaire were used. The study found no difference in perceptions of principals’ leadership styles related to teaching disciplines among the study sample and no difference in burnout scores among Islamic teachers depending on their experience of teaching or school type. There was, however, a difference in Islamic teachers’ burnout scores related to their gender. Several recommendations are made for coping with teachers’ stress and burnout, contributing to better job performance.
