These factors eventually became known as the ―Big Five, a title chosen not to reflect their intrinsic greatness, but to emphasize that each of these factors is extremely broad.
The main variable of the study will be Teacher burnout that is considered as resulting from long term occupational stress, especially among human service workers, including teachers (Jennett, Harris, & Mesibov, 2003). Leiter and Maslach (1998) propose a process model of burnout which is displayed in Figure 1.1. In the center of this figure are three concepts of burnout i.e., exhaustion, depersonalization (or cynicism), and reduced personal accomplishment (or efficacy).
