Occupational Stress, Burnout and Job Satisfaction among Supervisors in North Cyprus
Abstract
The demands on supervisors both in and out of educational settings introduced by the recent learner-based innovations and
combined with increased work load have led many to question the levels of job satisfaction, occupational stress and burnout among
supervisors. The goal of this article was to explore the levels of occupational stress, burnout and job satisfaction among supervisors in
North Cyprus. The target population of this study was all supervisors working for the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports in North
Cyprus. All 34 supervisors were included in the study. Data were collected through (1) Occupational Environment Scale (Osipow &
Spokane,1983), (2) the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Maslach & Jackson, 1981b) and (3) the Minnesota Work Satisfaction Questionnaire
(Weis et al.,1967). The level of job satisfaction of supervisors was found to be high, whereas levels of their occupational stress were
found to be moderate. The levels of emotional burnout and personal accomplishment were also found to be moderate but the level of
depersonalization was found to be low among the supervisors.
