Resumo(s)
Teachers are exposed to various occupational stressors which, if persistent, can lead to
Burnout Syndrome and to recurrent thoughts of leaving the profession and culminate in total
withdrawal. Thus, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the mediating role of Burnout
Syndrome between the two dimensions motivational system that is constituted by the regulatory system
with a focus on prevention and promotion and the Intention to Leave the profession among teachers
in Southern Brazil. A total of 781 elementary school teachers from public and private schools
participated in the research. The research instruments used included the Burnout Syndrome
Questionnaire, the Regulatory Focus Scale, and a single item to evaluate the Intention to Leave the
profession. The results obtained by Structural Equation Modeling confirmed the hypothesis that
Burnout Syndrome plays a mediating role between promotion regulatory focus and the Intention to
Leave the profession. The results reveal the importance of interventions that contemplate the reduction
of occupational stressors for the prevention or rehabilitation of Burnout Syndrome in teachers.
