Teaching as a burnout trap

This paper deals with general facts about the concept of 'burnout' in the teaching profession, with specific sources of stress and with preventive measures and coping strategies to counteract burnout.The central concern is to clarify which factors in the workplace 'school' and in public are currently perceived as particularly stressful by colleagues at Styrian vocational schools and which preventive measures can be taken both in the school context and in the private sphere. These questions form the basis for the main research question: 'What preventive measures can be taken to prevent vocational school teachers from suffering from burnout?'
