Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze the relationship between burnout syndrome and existential fullness of secondary school teachers in El Progreso, Yoro; To achieve this, the prevalence of the syndrome was determined and comparisons of the levels of burnout and existential fullness were established between teachers in the public and private sectors; Likewise, it was investigated whether there was any relationship between both variables. It is concluded that burnout is present and that those over forty years of age, from both sectors, are the ones who are situated in a higher percentage at the low level on the existential fullness scale. On the other hand, it was not possible to statistically confirm a direct relationship between burnout syndrome and existential fulfillment. The research is quantitative and descriptive-correlational in scope. The data come from a sample of 202 teachers to whom the Maslach Burnout Questionnaire for Teachers (MBI-Ed) and the Längle Existential Scale were applied.
