Key Points

  • The research aims to identify factors predicting occupational burnout in kindergarten teachers, focusing on the role of self-efficacy.
  • Quantitative design employing partial least squares structural equation modeling.
  • Data collected from 400 public kindergarten teachers using six validated instruments.
  • Analysis revealed relationships between job demands and burnout as well as mediating effects of self-efficacy.
  • Occupational stress significantly predicts burnout (β = 0.384, p < 0.001).
  • Professional attitudes, occupational commitment, and social support significantly predict lower burnout (β = −0.212, −0.225, −0.227 respectively, all p < 0.001).
  • The model accounts for 68.0% of the variance in burnout.
