The major purpose of this investigation was to obtain from a sample of 150 middle school teachers (101 females and 49 males) in suburban San Diego County evidence concerning the degree of relationship of each of four burnout-related measures (Positive Perception of Teaching, Support from Superiors, Knowledge of Burnout, and Commitment to Teaching) in the Holland Burnout Assessment Survey with each of three widely researched subtests in the Educators Survey serving as criterion variables (Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Personal Accomplishment). Interest also centered on ascertaining the relationship of each of seven demographic variables with each of the seven measures of burnout. Both the Positive Perception of Teaching and Commitment to Teaching subscales of the Holland instrument yielded promising validity relative to each of the three criterion measures provided by the Educators Survey. Demographic variables showed little, if any, promise in identifying those teachers who might be predisposed to burnout.
