Abstract
Frontline workers have been distinctively impacted by the rapid spread of the COVID-19
pandemic. Teachers, as frontline employees in the educational system, had to contend with
unprecedented changes to their work role, as well as new job demands coupled with insufficient
resources and the effects of the pandemic on their personal lives. While some teachers struggled to cope
and reported intense levels of fear of COVID-19 and burnout, others were able to adapt and experienced a
sense of growth and accomplishment. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the role of
resilience in the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and burnout among South African
schoolteachers using a survey design.
