“…This research could not empirically demonstrate a relationship between burnout and gender of English language teachers which is in line with other studies (Check and Okwo 2012;Sadeghi and Khezrlou 2014). Nevertheless, it can be effective to monitor and evaluate degrees of burnout as stressors influence teachers of both sexes (Buunk et al 2007;Dumitru and Talpos 2012;Ozer and Beycioglu 2010;Schaufeli and Buunk 2003;Schwab and Iwanicki 1982;Zamani Rad and Nasir 2010).…”

Burnout in teachers is an important concern since it adversely impacts their instruction as well as their psychological, mental, and physical health. The present study examined the levels of burnout (i.e. emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment) experienced by Iranian English language teachers. Specifically, the relationships of participants' gender, workplace context, grade level taught, and teaching experience to their burnout were investigated. Data were collected from 40 teachers using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Overall, findings revealed that English teachers (N = 40) were experiencing high levels of reduced personal accomplishment (M = 18.72) and emotional exhaustion (M = 17.80). Results of one-way ANOVA showed significant differences among English language teachers with respect to burnout subscales. Significant correlations were found between burnout, workplace context, and grade level taught. A number of helpful suggestions for programs and individuals involved in relieving stress and burnout among teachers are presented.

“…However, there are studies which indicate no relation between gender and burnout (e.g. Check and Okwo 2012;Sadeghi and Khezrlou 2014) and studies which show that burnout is more frequent and more intense in female teachers (e.g. Dumitru and Talpos 2012).…”

“…Schaufeli and Van Dierendonck (1993), Poghosyan et al (2009), and Adwan (2014) calculated the subdimension having the highest mean score as "personal accomplishment" in their studies on nurses. Similarly, in many studies conducted in other sectors, sub-dimension associated with accomplishment was determined as the one with the highest mean score (Maslach & Jackson, 1981;Jackson & Maslach, 1982;Wright & Bonett, 1997;Rutherford et al, 2014;Sadeghi & Khezrlou, 2014). That reduced sense of personal accomplishment is more than the feeling of emotional exhaustion in other countries with better working conditions may be due to ongoing working conditions more difficult in Turkey.…”

“…In addition they wanted to test the relationship between dimensions of organizational climate and the burnout syndrome in call centers by using the MBI and the Questionnaire for the Analysis of Organizational Climate. Sadeghi and Khezrlou (2014) compared the levels of teachers' burnout in terms of age, gender, marital status, and level of education by using MBI in their research whose participants consist of English Language Teachers in Iran.…”

“…As indicated, the benefits of group work are many and its usage is proving to be an increasingly integral component of a well-rounded tertiary education. This belief is also considered so important by students since they stated that they believe group work to be valuable and to have many benefits (Lima, Carvalho, Assunção Flores, & Van Hattum-Janssen, 2007;Sadeghi & Khezrlou, 2014;Sadeghi & Khezrlou, 2016;Sadeghi, Khezrlou & Modirkhameneh, 2017). However, it is reported in the literature that for a number of students, group work can be an unpleasant and preferably avoidable element of study -primarily due to experi ences of working in dysfunctional groups (e.g., Aggrwal, O'Brien, 2008;Dommeyer, 2007;Pfaff & Huddleston, 2003).…”

This study attempted to examine the free riding tendencies of English as a foreign language (EFL) learners performing group work activities. Concerning the pivotal role of individual difference variables in learners’ group work contribution, this study also explored the motivation and personality traits of the learners as well. Furthermore, teachers’ and learners’ opinions with respect to the free riding phenomenon were analyzed. A total of 140 intermediate and upper-intermediate learners and 30 teachers took part in this study. As a mixed-methods study, this study utilized questionnaires as well as semi-structured interviews to investigate this topic. Results of Pearson correlations revealed the significant relationship between motivation and low free riding. Moreover, it was found that except for neuroticism, other dimensions of personality could establish significantly negative relationships with free riding. The correspondences between these findings and the participants’ attitudes were further examined and significant pedagogical implications were provided.
