Abstract
The research aims to determine: (1) what are the symptoms of burnout and what preventative measures can be implemented; (2) what are the current factors public school administrators experience that contribute to burnout; (3) to what extent does burnout affect public school administrators in Trinidad and Tobago; (4) to what extent does gender affect burnout among public school administrators in Trinidad and Tobago; (5) to what extent does having a confirmed status as a public school administrator lead to burnout among school administrators; (6) what framework and measures can be put in place to detect and mitigate the effects of burnout among public school administrators. This is a mixed method research design where convenient sampling was used for the quantitative component and purposive sampling for the qualitative. The questionnaire and interviews were done face to face with 352 participants for the quantitative and 32 participants for the qualitative. The findings noticeably indicated that gender did not significantly impact burnout. Moreover, acting and confirmed status had a significant impact on burnout. Furthermore, burnout was seen as evident among public school administrators with personal accomplishment remaining high. The perception of the respondents emphasised the importance of alleviating burnout through mentorship programmes, recognition of achievements, maintaining manageable workloads, fostering peer collaborations and social interactions among school administrators.
