Abstract:

It is observed that professional burnout is increasing gradually in teaching, which is one of the difficult and important professions today. It would be correct to say that the level of burnout is higher in physical education and sports teachers than in other branch teachers, since it is an applied field. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the professional burnout levels of physical education and sports teachers working in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The sample of the study consists of a total of 100 physical education teachers selected by random sampling, working in schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Girne, Nicosia and Famagusta regions in the 2021-2022 academic year. In the research, "Maslach burnout inventory" created by Maslach and Jackson (1981) and translated into Turkish by İnce and Şahin (2015) was used to examine the professional burnout of physical education and sports teachers. The data obtained from the study showed that teachers have burnout levels.
