Burnout is an issue to be taken seriously in the workplaces where human interaction is salient and
very important. The aim of the research is to investigate burnout among the instructors working at
ESOGU preparatory school and find out what factors affect their levels of burnout. 28 instructors
working in this institution participated in the study. The results of the study showed that the only
significant contributor of burnout among the instructors is their perceived level of stress at the
workplace. Except for that one, demographic characteristics, educational background and other workrelated factors proved to have low or no significant effect on instructors’ burnout levels. At the context
of the present study, preparatory school, almost all the decisions are made with the participation of all
instructors and administration and also it can be said that there is always a mutual understanding
between the aforementioned parties. Therefore, it is possible to state that this collaboration may
contribute to insignificant levels of burnout among these instructors despite being exposed to the
factors mentioned as the main causes of burnout in the literature.
