Wypalenie zawodowe w polskiej szkole publicznej – nauczyciel i psycholog szkolny

This article is dedicated to the problem of professional burnout among Polish teachers and psychologists of state schools after the reform in the Polish system of education when gymnasiums (junior high schools) were introduced. A group of primary school, junior high school and high school teachers and psychologists are analyzed and compared in terms of three dimensions of burnout: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced sense of personal accomplishment. Despite sharing the same work environment with teachers, school psychologists are those who are supposed to cope with burnout better because of their professional knowledge and experience.
