Abstract
Teachers are especially vulnerable to developing burnout. Resilience is the ability of people to overcome the difficulties of life. The objective of the study was to establish relationships between the perceptions of burnout and resilience in the surveyed group. The invited sample was composed of 334 teachers (26.34% of the invited sample). It was a cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study, which responded to a simple random sampling of 1268 teachers in the 2017/2018 academic year, through voluntary and anonymous participation. For the evaluation of burnout, the adaptation to Spanish (MBI-GS) of Salanova, Schaufeli, Llorens, Peiró and Grau (2000) was used. Resilience was measured through the Resilience Evaluation Questionnaire of Serrano Martínez (2010). High scores were found in personal/professional efficiency dimension that suggest a positive self-evaluation of work by teachers, and its influence as a protective factor against the feeling of being burned, only 2.40% with high exhaustion and cynicism and low efficiency score. The results showed a low burnout index and a medium level of resilience. It was concluded that resilience reduces vulnerability to burnout. Furthermore, the personal characteristics and resilience of teachers acted as modulating variables against the burnout syndrome.
Keywords: resilience; burnout; work stress; personal/professional efficiency; emotional intelligence.
