Abstract
This study examined the levels and sources of teacher stress and burnout, regarding the economic crisis and defined certain correlations between them. Participants were 93 secondary education teachers. The data was collected using the Sources of Occupational Stress Questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Barrera’s Perceived Economic Hardship Questionnaire. The research have been held during the school year 2013-2014. The results indicated that the economic crisis has affected the professional stress in many ways, especially for younger teachers and female teachers. The structural equation model revealed that occupational stress, teachers’ burnout and economic hardship are interconnected.
