Abstract
The important, frontline role of teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic has often gone
unrecognized, and attention to their mental health and well-being is often only the focus of scholarly
research. The unprecedented challenges that teachers faced during the COVID-19 pandemic and
the stresses and strains associated with it have severely impacted their psychological well-being.
This study examined the predictors and the psychological consequences of burnout. Participants
(N = 355) were schoolteachers in South Africa who completed the Perceived Vulnerability to Disease
Questionnaire, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, the Role Orientation Questionnaire, the Maslach
Burnout Inventory, the Centre for Epidemiological Depression Scale, the Beck Hopelessness Scale,
the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the trait scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory.
