Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship betweenAlexithymia and organizational commitment with the burnout of primary school teachers. The research method was descriptive correlational. The population of the study consisted of all elementary women teachers in the city of Ardabil who were taught in the year 2018 -2019 and their number is 1333 people. Sample size of 100 female teachers was selected using cluster sampling method. In this study, the emotional nougat scale, organizational commitment scale and burnout questionnaire were used to collect data. Data analysis was performed using pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression with SPSS version 24 and a significant level of P = 0/05. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the difficulty in describing emotions, the difficulty in recognizing emotions, objective thinking, and total emotional exacerbations with job burnout among female teachers. There is also a negative and significant relationship between emotional commitment, continuous commitment, normative commitment and total organizational commitment with job burnout among female teachers. Based on emotional and organizational commitment, they predict job burnout. These findings implicitly support the need to reduce emotional stress and increase organizational commitment to reduce the job burnout of teachers. It also boosts emotional excitement and reduces organizational commitment to increase teacher’s job performance.
