Are Principals Really Burned Out?

Whitaker, Kathryn

Educational Research Quarterly, v17 n4 p5-23 Jun 1994

One hundred seven principals were sampled using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Results suggest that principals experience low to moderate levels of burnout, with those in the 35-44 age group scoring higher in depersonalization than other principals. Twenty-six percent do not plan to remain as principals until retirement. (SLD)
