Abstract

Occupational burnout, according to Hanisah (2019), is an increasingly important phenomenon in Asian countries. School education departments are no exception. The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of burnout among the heads of secondary schools in KPK. This study also investigates the correlation of burnout, emotional intelligence and organizational commitment. The sample of this study comprised 336 head teachers (168 males and 168 females) of secondary schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Stratified sampling technique was used to select the sample. The research instruments included Copenhagen burnout inventory, Wong and law emotional intelligence scale, Allen and Meyer organizational commitment. For hypothesis testing, Pearson Correlation Coefficient test was chosen. The study concluded that a significant number of heads were experiencing moderate level of burnout. The findings also revealed that the correlation among burnout, organizational commitment and emotional intelligence was significant among the heads of secondary schools of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
