Research on Teacher Burnout and Job Satisfaction
At CCIR Academy, Aleeza conducted a research project titled “How Do the Big Five Personality Traits Affect Teacher Burnout and Job Satisfaction Rates?”
The study examines five personality traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Specifically, it explores how these traits may influence teachers’ well-being and job satisfaction.
Through this research, Aleeza investigates psychological factors that may contribute to teacher burnout. The project also considers how personality traits may relate to greater job satisfaction in educational settings.
