Stima de sine și epuizarea profesională în profesia didactică

In order to have satisfaction in doing didactic profession, the teachers need a high level of self-esteem, a professional environment lacking stress and tensions, an environment which encourages active involvement, empathy and the joy of doing everything for those one devotes oneself each moment of one’s life. The work proposes a comparative analysis of self-esteem and burnout phenomenon for teachers in special education and in mass education. At the same time it approaches a correlative analysis between the level of self-esteem and the level of burnout for the persons who teach. The sample involved in the research is made of 142 teachers from special schools (83) and normal schools (59).
