FACTORS LEADING TO A BURNOUT :

1. Emotional Exhaustion:  

(a) Emotional labour is a major factor in educator burnout. Educators who had to manage, hide, or control their emotions often experienced higher levels of emotional exhaustion 

(b) Educators’ psychological well-being is closely connected to their daily experiences and the conditions in which they work .Educators who feel unsupported or undervalued are more likely to leave the profession (

(c) Workplace conditions shape educators’ experiences. A lack of support and negative workplace interactions can increase stress and contribute to burnout. In a similar way, highlight that supportive leadership, and collaboration can help educators feel valued and more likely to stay in their roles.

2. High Workloads, Low Wages:

 International research shows that burnout among early childhood educators is strongly connected to workplace conditions, job demands. In many cases, factors like low pay, long hours, and limited recognition make it harder for educators to feel supported in their roles and can increase their intention to leave the field.

3. Lack of resources and support:

Not having the right resources readily available at the workplace can also lead to stress and an emotional burn-out in educators because of their guilt and inadequacy of compromising on the quality of service or failing to meet the needs of the program.
