Abstract
Burnout is a state of vital exhaustion lasted as a disorder and affects many including teachers. The rapidly
increasing workload is among the key factors responsible for burnout in teachers. This study was aimed to
explore the relationship of the workload with burnout among the college teachers of Pakistan. All the
working teachers in public colleges of Pakistan were the population of this study while 200 teachers were
conveniently selected as the population of the study. We used the Maslach Burnout Inventory to identify
burnout in teachers and developed a simple questionnaire to measure workload in teachers with items
measured on a 7-point Likert scale. The design of the quantitative phase of the study was correlational
and results revealed a positive relationship of the workload with a burnout in teachers. Semi-structured
interviews were used as a qualitative tool for data triangulation the results of qualitative data analysis
supported the results of descriptive statistics. The writers suggest that certain workload standards should
be established for teachers so that they do not reach the threshold of burnout and maintain optimal
proficiency.
