Abstract
This study serves as an initial exploration into the burnout syndrome among training professionals. The findings indicate that, as in other human service occupations, burnout is a prevalent problem in the training field. Correlating the Maslach Burnout Inventory Educators Survey (MBI-ES) subscales of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment with a measure of the trainers' perceptions of the degree that the training function is valued by their respective organization revealed a statistically significant relationship with emotional exhaustion. The motives among trainers for entering the profession are also explored.- Submitted on 15 Nov 2017
