dc.description.abstractUsing the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and a Job Satisfaction questionnaire data was collected from assistant principals (N = 149) across British Columbia. The data was examined to determine a) whether there were significant relationships between particular personal and professional demographics and level of perceived stress b) the degree of stress and job satisfaction experienced by the assistant principals and c) the extent to which job satisfaction was predictive of burnout in these administrators. Significant relationships were found between gender, percentage of administration time, type of school , and burnout. Significant relationships were also evident between gender, years in administration, years in present position, marital status and job satisfaction. Results of the MBI indicated that 40% of the assistant principals were experiencing high levels of emotional exhaustion while another 43 % were experiencing moderate levels of emotional exhaustion. Fifty-two percent of the administrators indicated high job satisfaction. The highest areas of satisfaction included satisfaction with interpersonal relationships , satisfaction with achievement and involvement and satisfaction with autonomy. The lowest areas of satisfaction were satisfaction with work load and satisfaction with advancement. Multiple stepwise linear regression showed a) emotional exhaustion was predicted by overall work stress, and satisfaction with work load; b) depersonalization was predicted by overall work stress, satisfaction with achievement and involvement and satisfaction with interpersonal relationships and; c) personal accomplishment was predicted by satisfaction with achievement and involvement.en
