Measuring School Principal-Experienced Burnout

Isaac A. Friedman

The Henrietta Szold Institute, The National Institute for Research in the Behavioral Sciences

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a measure for school principal-perceived burnout. A total of 821 elementary and secondary school principals in Israel completed a questionnaire containing items relating to their feelings about themselves, their environment, and work. Data were factor analyzed, and three factors, covering 22 items, emerged: (a) exhaustion-feelings of emotional, physical, and cognitive fatigue, direct acknowledgment of being burned out by running the school; (b) aloofness-the principal's expressed desire to disengage from teachers, students, and parents; and (c) deprecation-having negative attitudes toward teachers, students, and parents, belittling their efforts and derogating their abilities.
