type: CreativeWork
description: Problem: The issue of burnout continues to receive a great deal of attention. Schwab,Gmelch and others have raised concerns about educators and stress and the result of stress in the multidimensional condition of burnout.

As Barth, Ubben, Smith and other scholars have noted, the principal is called upon to lead educationally in the forefront of this rapid change. In the conceptual framework of Schwab, Gmelch, Whitaker and other researchers, this study is aimed at determining if there are any relationships between levels of burnout and personalities of secondary principals as measured in temperament types.

The second objective was to determine if relationships existed between self reported personality traits of secondary principals as measured in temperament types of Sensing-Judging, Sensing-Perceiving, Intuitive-Feeling, or Intuitive-Thinking and the variables of age, sex, grade levels administered, school size, educational level, years of experience, years in the current position, and plans to continue in the principalship. The third objective was to determine if relationships exist among the background variables, personality temperament types, and level of burnout as measured by Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Personal Accomplishment. Procedures: The subjects of this study included all 659 secondary principals in the state of Iowa. The surveys …
