This study aimed to establish whether work overload and organisational climate are predictors of burnout among primary school teachers in Lesotho. The sample comprised 350 primary school teachers. Data were collected through the use of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educators Survey, Overload Scale and School Environmental Questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis reveals that work overload and organisational climate are predictors of burnout among teachers. Pertaining to work overload, the study finds that primary school teachers in Lesotho are burdened with teaching many grades. In relation to organisational climate, the findings of the study are that teachers work under unfavourable working conditions.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Burnout, teacher, stressors, work overload, organisational climate. |\n| --- |\n| E-mail: [immakhetha@gmail.com.

For example, in demonstrating this fact, Jillson (2019) argues that teachers are entrusted with important responsibilities which contribute to the academic, social and emotional development of the youth. This is consistent with the findings of a study which was conducted by FrinkLevenhagen (2021) . In this study, Frink-Levenhagen (2021) reports that within the world of academia, highquality teachers are the backbone of well-functioning institutes. While teaching is supposed to be the most rewarding and fulfilling job, it is characterised by demandsand challenges which sometimes force teachers to quit. Teacher attrition can be attributed to a variety of factors. However, the factor which requires the most attention, in my opinion, is teacher burnout.  \nFrink-Levenhagen (2021) notes that teacher burnout has historically proven to be a great concern in the teaching profession. The seriousness of this phenomenon is illustrated by Küçüksüleymanoğlu (2011) , Amimo (2012) and Hurtley (2021) . Küçüksüleymanoğlu (2011) postulates that at the start of their profession, many teachers are  \nenthusiastic and dedicated but because of burnout, after a few years they lose interest, become cynical and distant themselves from colleagues and learners. In support of this issue, Amimo (2012) states that burnout does not only expose teachers to a problem of exhaustion but as its process spirals down, learners become victims of poor teaching. Furthermore, Amimo (2012) shows that while burnout may force some teachers to leave the profession, others may continue with poor teaching. Hurtley (2021) also notes that teacher burnout is a serious problem that can cause psychological lassitude, emotional exhaustion and physical fatigue which eventually create a vicious cycle of health problems.  \nIt may be important to define the concept ‘burnout’. Thereis a substantial number of definitions of burnout. However, only a few of them are considered in this study. Burnout is defined as a work-related syndrome that stems from an individual’s perception of a significant discrepancy between effort (input) and reward (output)(Buyukbayraktar and Temiz, 2015; Pucella, 2011) . This perception of the individual is influenced by individual,  \nAfr Educ Res J 220  \norganisational and social factors (Buyukbayraktar and Temiz, 2015; Pucella, 2011) . According to Aksu and Temeloglu (2015) as well as Küçüksüleymanoğlu (2011), burnout occurs most often in those who work with troubled or needy clients and is marked by withdrawal from and cynicism toward clients, wi","cbCaigxixLunSgj1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigxixLunSgj1","pdf",211772,"English","# Introduction\n## Statement of the problem\n## Aim and objectives","[{\"question\":\"What research design was used to study teacher burnout in Lesotho?\",\"answer\":\"The study used a correlational research design to examine relationships between work overload, organisational climate, and job burnout.\"},{\"question\":\"Which variables were assessed as predictors of burnout?\",\"answer\":\"Work overload and organisational climate were assessed as predictors of burnout among primary school teachers.\"},{\"question\":\"How were data collected for the study?\",\"answer\":\"Data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory–Educators Survey, the Overload Scale, and the School Environmental Questionnaire.\"}]","Work overload and organisational climate as predictors of job burnout among primary school teachers in Lesotho | PDF",1792071270]
