Description
To determine the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and burnout, the Scales of Emotional Functioning: Educators (SEF:ED) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory: Educators Survey (MBI-ES) were administered to 97 inservice educators. Statistically significant correlation coefficients (p < .05) in the anticipated direction were found between the three SEF:ED and the three MBI-ES scales. Attendees will learn about the benefits of promoting EI and the important linkage between EI and burnout for educators.
