Abstract
Human health is dependent on how well individuals adapt to psychosocial, environmental, and physical challenges.
The responses to such challenges to psychological or physiological integrity of the individual is called stress and aims
to maintain physiological balance and in extension increase survival and reproductive success. From this perspective
it is interesting that the teaching profession stands out and have been identified as one of the most stressful occupations
with a potential to cause poor health. Burnout has been identified as a psychological risk, especially in fields which
involve working with students. It has been defined as “a psychological syndrome emerging as a prolonged response
to chronic interpersonal stressors on the job” The teachers’ burnout was measured using Friedman’s (1999)
adaptation of the second edition of the Maslach Burnout Scale (Maslach & Jackson, 1986). Teachers’ sense of selfefficacy was measured using a three-item scale constructed on the basis of the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale
(TSES)
