Description
Vesna Jovanović and co-authors model what predicts burnout in special education and general teachers. Their 2025 study uses a demands and resources frame. Demands act as risk factors for strain; resources act as protection. The sample held 116 special education teachers from eight schools for children with learning difficulties. A matched group of 145 general primary teachers from the Belgrade region joined them.
Two questionnaires measured burnout and job features. No difference was found between the groups in burnout levels. In the special education group, workplace changes predicted all three burnout measures. Work setting predicted exhaustion and depersonalization. Emotional demands and colleague support predicted exhaustion. Job control and cognitive demands predicted sense of accomplishment. In the general group, colleague support again played a role. Each setting has its own pattern of risks.
