One hundred eighty eight (188) teacher respondents from the pre school, elementary and secondary levels of Colegio San Agustin, Makati during schoolyear 1990-1991, comprised the subjects of this research. The instruments used were Maslach's Burnout Inventory (MBI) which measured three subscales of the burnout syndrome, namely: Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization and Personal Accomplishment and Hoppock's Job Satisfaction Blank (JSB) which measured the job satisfaction level. A separate teacher background information section was also included to determine background information of sex, age, civil status, educational qualification and years of teaching experience.

The following are the significant findings of the study: 1. Faculty members of Colegio San Agustin in Makati generally exhibit low to moderate levels of burnout. Specifically, moderate scores were obtained in the frequency of emotional exhaustion, intensity of depersonalization and frequency and intensity of reduced personal accomplishment. On the other hand, low scores were obtained in the frequency of depersonalization and intensity of emotional exhaustion. 2. The job satisfaction level of the teacher respondents is fairly good, 5.36 in the scale of 7.3. There exists a significant relationship between the variable of educational qualification and the intensity of emotional exhaustion (r = -.168 p = .05).4. There exists no significant relationship between the personal characteristics and the subscales of burnout. In other words, the personal variables of sex, age, civil status, and years of teaching experience are not significant predictors of teacher burnout. 5.
