Summary/Abstract: Presented paper examines the relationship between leadership style, organisational climate and burnout syndrome in elementary school teachers with involved pupils. The MBI and OCDQ-RS questionnaires were used to analyse the correlations between dimensions of burnout (emotionalexhaustion, depersonalisation, job satisfaction), aspects of organisational climate (supportive or directive principal behavior, engaged, frustrated or intimate teacher behavior) and overall jobsatisfaction on a research sample of 167 teachers (24 men and 143 women). The results of this study indicate a strong association between wellbeing leadership, a positive organisational climate and lower rates of burnout, while frustration and a lack of openness are associated with an increased risk of burnout.The findings highlight the importance of creating a supportive and transparent work environment to prevent teacher burnout.
