Abstract
The purpose of the study was to: (1) assess the level of burnout and stress of public school counselors, (2) detem1ine if public school counselors differed in the reported level of burnout based on selected personal variables, and selected school variables. A convenient, volunteer sample was used from 42 public school counselors in a suburban area of St. Louis, Missouri. The instruments used for the study were the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Form Educational) and a demographic questionnaire.
The findings suggested that that level of burnout in the sample was in the moderate range on the Emotional Exhaustion subscale and in the low range for both the Depersonalization and the Personal Accomplishment subscales. There was no statistically significant relationship between the level of burnout in school counselors and selected personal variables, and selected school variables.
