Abstract

Throughout the years, burnout has been considered as a syndrome that deeply affects people employed in any profession. As the pandemic caused by COVID-19 took place, teachers became more vulnerable as massive changes in their work environment demanded them to perform and accomplish more duties and responsibilities. With that, this study has been conducted in order to determine the comparison on the levels of burnout due to the work from home (WFH) setup as experienced by selected private junior high school teachers in Dasmariñas City, Cavite during the COVID-19 pandemic. By making use of both the snowball and purposive sampling technique, 104 individuals were able to qualify in the profiling survey, take part in this descriptive comparative study and answer the 22-item survey questionnaire adapted from the Maslach Burnout Inventory - Educators Survey (MBI-ES) which helped the researchers obtain the necessary data. After getting through the study, findings have shown that among the three subscales, personal accomplishment does not really contribute that much to the burnout experienced by the respondents as its mean score was only interpreted as low burnout. On the other hand, although both emotional exhaustion and depersonalization acquired a mean score that were interpreted as moderate burnout, it is still the emotional exhaustion that is the most prevalent subscale among the three, as it obtained a higher score than that of the subscale of depersonalization. Furthermore, in terms of the significance of the respondents’ demographic variables, it was identified that their age, civil status and the number of years they are in service, are the only ones that made a significant difference in accordance with the overall level of burnout they have experienced in various subscales, whereas their sex, the number of preparations they make, their students’ year level and even the number of devices they use for teaching is not significant with the overall level of burnout they have experienced in various subscales. To conclude, the researchers recommended that the future studies should consider other factors to compare with each other so as to provide a more extensive knowledge about the topic.
