Personal Values as Regulators of Teacher Burnout.

The aim was to identify the means of correction and prevention of burnout syndrome in college teachers who switched to online teaching during the period of quarantine caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Descriptive and experimental research designs were used to achieve the aim. Causal relationships were defined using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and correlational analysis. The Fisher's angular transform criterion and the Mann-Whitney U test (STATISTICA 10.0) were used to determine the psychological characteristics of teachers with different levels of burnout syndrome. Boyko's Emotional Burnout Inventory and Rokeach Value Survey (RVS) were used for diagnosis. The practical recommendations for college administrations were developed based on the causal relationships revealed in the results. It was found that the system of personal values could be an effective regulator of the personal state in difficult situations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
