This study determines pre-service teachers’ burnout levels and their anxiety about not being appointed to the teacher profession, while also examining academic achievements and relationships among these variables. Using a correlational survey model, results show overall burnout at a moderate level, with particularly high emotional burnout. Anxiety about not being appointed is high across pre-service teachers, and academic proficiency burnout is relatively low. Departmental differences emerge in burnout, appointment anxiety, and academic achievement, with correlations showing negative links between grade point average and burnout total points and a weak positive link between burnout and appointment anxiety.

While pre-service teachers’depersonalization/cynicism levels are close to the average value, it has been seen that their burnout levels on the subject of academic proficiency are low and their anxiety about being not to be appointed to teacher profession is high. Most pre-service teachers’ fear levels on being not to be appointed are also high. Their personal perception level is average.

It has been concluded that burnout levels of those who choose their department willingly are lower than those who choose their department unwillingly. And also, the first group’s grade point average is higher than the second group. Besides that, all pre-service teachers have anxiety about being not to be appointed. When the correlation between pre-service teachers’ burnout levels, their anxiety about not being appointed to teacher profession and their grade point average have been examined, it has been found that there is a negative oriented moderate correlation between their grade point average and their burnout total points, and there is a positive oriented weak correlation between their burnout total points and their anxiety about not to be appointed as teachers.
