Scientific Study from the year 2016 in the subject Psychology - Work, Business, Organisational and Economic Psychology, , language: English, abstract: In the present competitive world, burnout is a major concern in the teaching profession. Burnout is a severe form of stress, i.e. it is the negative side of stress that leads to burnout. The difference between stress and burnout is that stress has both positive and negative outcomes as observed by Selye, 1956, whereas burnout has only negative outcomes. Talking about gender differences in the world of work is common. The dual workload many female members of our society carry is why they can be assumed to suffer from stress more as compared to the male members of the society. The present paper studies and compares burnout in college teachers in terms of gender. For the study, the author questioned 200 college teachers (100 male + 100 female) from different colleges of Patiala district. The findings show that there is significant difference in the level of burnout of male and female college teachers.
