The study group of the research consisted of 242 physical education teachers working in different educational stages in the provinces of Trabzon and Ankara during 2015-2016 academic years. The quantitative data were obtained by using the "Maslach Burnout Inventory", developed by Maslach and Jackson (1981) and adapted into Turkish by Ergin (1992); the qualitative data were obtained through “Open-ended question form" developed by the researchers. The findings of the research revealed that the levels of occupational burnout of teachers were moderate and occupational burnout varied according to marital status and workplace institutions. In the research, it was concluded that the lack of interest of the students has an effect on the burnout of the physical education teachers, that the students do not give due importance to the lesson and the inadequacy of the conditions that the school has are among the important reasons of the burnout.
