Abstract

Theoretically, teachers’ burnout should increase teachers’ absenteeism and turnover intentions, impair the quality of teacher-student interactions and students’ educational development. Therefore, we aimed to provide a comprehensive synthesis of the correlates of teachers’ emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Meta-analyses based on 81 studies demonstrated negative associations between teachers’ burnout symptoms and teacher-student interactions (i.e., emotional support, classroom management, and instructional support), students’ motivation, and students’ achievement, while turnover intentions and absenteeism were positively related. Meta-regressions showed that the negative associations between teachers’ burnout, teacher-student interactions, and students’ motivation were significant not only for teachers’ self-reports but also for external reports. Based on the research synthesis, we set an agenda for future research and discuss implications for intervention programs.
