As dificuldades dos gestores e professores em lidar com a Síndrome de Burnout

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the teacher's work and burnout syndrome, having as research areas psychology, management and teaching. The elaboration of this work was based on bibliographical research, articles, books and dissertations on the subject. As bibliographies were used authors such as: Paulo Freire (1997), Wanderley Codo (1999), Ângelo Ricardo de Souza (2009) and Heloísa Luck (2009). The research problem will be structured in two axes, the first one: How can the teacher be affected with psychological distress? And the second: How can the school manager mitigate the emotional damage of teachers? The overall goal is to understand the meaning, causes and consequences of teachers' psychological distress, and how specific objectives to discuss about burnout syndrome, as well as the school manager can work to mitigate the emotional damage, raise possible disorders and impairment to teaching activity arising from of psychological frustrations. It was discussed during the discussions the difficulties of teaching work, its importance in the student's life and how teaching disorders can cause psychological damage. Questions such as infrastructure, materials, salary and lack of recognition were pointed out to show how such a function has little importance within society at large. It was verified then that the school management has as duty to assist in the teacher's work, as well as in the school environment so that it has a workplace based on a good, democratic and dialogic coexistence.
