The present study attempts to study the Burn-out among primary school teachers in relation to their demographical variables. The research was carried out with the total of 100 primary school teachers of Faridabad district, Haryana. Maslach Burn-out Inventory (MBI) by Maslach and Jackson (1981) was applied to find out significant difference in burn-out of primary school teachers in relation to Sex and Pay-Scale. The study reveals that burn-out has no impact on the sex. This means this variable don”t affect the burn-out of the teachers. But income of teachers is the cause of teachers burn-out at primary school stage. “Education is the preparation for complete living, adjustment to environment, perfection of one”s nature, character building and harmonious development of personality.” Hence Null hypothesis is accepted. But the calculated” value for total burn-out is significant at both the levels. It means there is significant difference between teachers having high income and low income in relation to their burn-out. Some researchers revealed in their studies that those employees who suffer burn-out are located in lower levels of job satisfaction which cause reduction in their motivational level and performance (Rocca & Konstanski, 2001; Bettina & Piko, 2006). Thus the negative symptoms of job burnout among teachers are harmful to both students and teachers themselves. The effect of this factors make teacher facing unprecedented challenges of a career crisis and survival.”
