Impact of Burn out and Remuneration among Higher Secondary School Teachers of Gangtok, Sikkim

Abstract

Teacher burnout is a condition of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that occurs because of prolonged stress, frustration, and overwhelm experienced by educators in their professional lives. It is a common problem in the education sector and can have serious negative consequences on both the teacher and the students. There are several factors that can contribute to teacher burnout, such as excessive workload, lack of support from colleagues and administrators, difficult or unmotivated students, low pay, and lack of autonomy or control over the classroom environment. Over time, these stressors can lead to feelings of exhaustion, cynicism, and detachment from one's work, which can ultimately result in a decrease in the quality of teaching and student learning outcomes. The objectives of the study are to find out significant difference if any in the burn out and renumeration of teachers in relation to gender, locale and type of management. The descriptive method of survey was adopted. The sample of this study consisted of higher secondary school teachers of Gangtok, Sikkim. The findings of the study were that there was significant difference in burn out of teachers in relation to gender and locale and non-significant in type of management variations. There was significant difference in renumeration of teachers in relation to locale and type of management and non-significant in gender variations. In each case the relationship between burn out and renumeration was significant.
