EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION, DEPERSONALIZATION ANDPERSONAL FULFILLMENT IN UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC STAFF.

The following article aimed to compare the Burnout Syndrome in 55 teachers. The sample consisted of 27 men and 28 women, from the faculties of Humanities, Nursing and Accounting and Administration of the Autonomous University of Campeche. The Maslach Burnout Inventory created in 1986 was used as an instrument, which measures three dimensions: Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization and Personal Realization. The data were analized with a student?s ?t? tests and a One-Way ANOVA. It was found that men experience more emotional exhaustion and depersonalization than women. Similarly, in the correlations between age, years of service in the faculty of the three faculties and the three dimensions of the instrument, it was found that at lower age and years of service, higher levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization are found. In similar investigations it was also observed that, when taking into account the age and age of the nurses and their relationship with the stressors, the sources of stress at work and the symptoms decrease as these variables increase (Ortiz, 1996). Finally, it was found that Nursing teachers feel personally fulfilled more than teachers from the School of Accounting and Administration.
