A Study on Job Burnout of English Teachers in Rural Middle Schools in Western China

Abstract

In order to explore the job burnout of English teachers in rural middle schools in western China and its mitigation paths, 596 middle school English teachers were surveyed with the Educator Burnout Scale, and Amos 23 and SPSS 22 were used to calculate the data. It was found that the phenomenon of job burnout of middle school English teachers was more common. , The degree is medium, and the low sense of accomplishment is particularly obvious. In addition, the variables of gender, age, teaching age, professional title and the number of students showed significant differences in the three-dimensional degree of job burnout. Based on the theory of self-determination, research suggests that job burnout of English teachers in western middle schools is more affected by external motivations.
