Background of the study:
Job burnout, characterized by chronic stress and emotional exhaustion, is a growing concern in the education sector. In Akure South, Ondo State, teachers face increasing demands, which can lead to reduced productivity and deteriorating job satisfaction (Adams, 2023). This study explores the prevalence of burnout among educators and examines its impact on teaching quality and workforce productivity (Brown, 2024). Contributing factors include workload pressures, inadequate support, and insufficient recognition. The research integrates quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to assess burnout levels and identify key stressors. It also investigates coping mechanisms and the effectiveness of institutional support systems (Clark, 2025). By contextualizing burnout within the broader framework of occupational health, the study aims to propose practical strategies for mitigating burnout and enhancing productivity among teachers, ultimately improving educational outcomes.

Addressing this issue is vital for ensuring sustainable teaching practices and improved educational outcomes (Brown, 2024; Clark, 2025).
