摘要：It is always a belief that a nation's development starts from a good education. Teachers are an important aspect of the education system, supplementing knowledge, and skills to young minds. It is believed that children would be the shaper of the country's future. This put pressure on this profession; the need to provides the best education to children, thus leading them to stress and burnout. Juggling between students' potential, parents' expectations, school administration and personal life lead to job burnout among teachers. As teachers play major role in reshaping future generation, it is important to recognise and acknowledge factors that lead to stress and burnout, thus identifying factors that might prohibits the burnout. This study aims to explore different influencing factors on the work demands of a teacher among female teachers as it holds 70% of the educator population in Malaysia. Using a correlational study, this paper explores influencing factors to teachers' job burnout from three different aspects: students, environment, and the job itself. 242 female teachers at secondary schools in a district in Malaysia; Muar were included as the respondent. Students' behaviour, work environment, and work overload are hypothesized to be positively correlated with female teachers' job burnout. Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression were used to test all three hypotheses, where all hypotheses are accepted. The result showed that there is significant relationship between work overload (p<0.01, r=.407), negative work environment (p<0.01, r=.423) and students’ misbehaviour (p<0.01, r=.569) towards female teachers’ job burnout. This study also showed that the variance of job burnout among female teacher can be explained by the independent variables tested by 46%. This study is thought to contribute to the topic of burnout in the education context, therefore can add understanding of teachers' well-being and contributes to a healthier workforce. The extension of this study could be done to identify factors that can be taken by the government, schools and individual in order to reduce stress among female teachers.
