Abstract

The article highlights the influence of teachers’ values and personal beliefs on their resilience to burnout syndrome. It points out that loss of idealism and enthusiasm for work, accompanied by exhaustion, cynicism, and decreased motivation, is common among teachers who enter the profession with idealistic and altruistic values, a deep sense of mission, a desire to help children, and a desire to change society for the better. If the school environment supports these values and creates a supportive climate, this can act as a protective factor.
