摘要
Burnout and quality of life (QoL) were assessed among 415 preschool and kindergarten teaching and assisting staff pertaining to Athens Municipal Nursery. MBI-ES and WHOQOL-BREF were used to collect data. Results revealed average to high levels of burnout; the emotional exhaustion was the salient dimension. QoL was satisfactory to high, except the 'Environment' section that was rated as moderate. Higher burnout was identified amongst those with permanent and open-ended work contracts, widows, the eldest, the more experienced and educated and those suffering from health problems. Lower QoL was associated with higher burnout. Data could guide multilevel policies for preventing burnout and improving QoL.
