Prevention of professional burnout of teachers in higher education

Summary/Abstract: In this paper basic characteristics of stress and professional burnout are depicted, especially regarding the stress of teachers and professional burnout of teachers in higher education. We operatioanlised the most common terms in the respective field of research and disscussed the factors which play a major role in onset and prevention of the work-related burnout. Regarding prevention the authors emphasised that it is more important to identify, and if it is possible to prevent and/or to eliminate the causes of professional burnout than to treat the burnout-syndrome after its outbreak. Prevention being the operative word here, and it is possible to realise it on both organisational and individual level, we offer guidelines and elucidate the activities within the prevention of professional burnout of teachers employed in institutions of higher education.
