摘要：The purpose of this study was a) to assess job satisfaction and burnout among
Greek Physical Education (PE) teachers and b) investigate how school sport
facilities affect their job satisfaction and burnout levels. Two hundred and eightytwo
Greek PE teachers, aged from 24 to 65 years old, participated in the study.
Their working experience ranged from one to 37 years. The Employee Satisfaction
Inventory (Koustelios & Bagiatis, 1997) was employed to assess job satisfaction
and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Maslach & Jackson, 1986) for the
measurement of burnout. The results revealed that Greek PE teachers seem to be
more satisfied by work itself and supervision and dissatisfied by promotion and
even more by pay while experiencing medium to low burnout. Furthermore, Greek
PE teachers who work in schools with very satisfactory sport facilities seem to be
more satisfied in comparison to Greek PE teachers who work in poor sport
facilities. Finally, Greek PE teachers who work in schools with very satisfactory
sport facilities seem to experience lower burnout levels. It is thus recommended
that schools should have the best sport equipment possible, for more satisfied, less
burned-out PE teachers.
