Abstract—Burnout has been identified as a key issue among
individuals in educational positions. While true, little is known
about the group of workers with a training role secondary to
their main occupations with specialised tasks, and how this dual
role is implicated. Examining burnout is crucial, as it is now
recognised as a pressing problem in the workplace. This study
aimed to investigate the prevalence of burnout among this
group of subjects, known as ‘part-time trainers’ and determine
the socio-demographic factors associated with the phenomenon.
In addition to the collection of socio-demographic data, the
Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educator Survey (MBI-ES) was
employed to assess burnout in the three dimensions of
emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and reduced personal
accomplishment. The results revealed that burnout among the
subjects were balanced. Gender, marital status and age were
also found to be related to the syndrome.
Index Terms—Burnout, part-time training roles, part-time
