The analysis of burnout level of pre-service

Burnout is a common case in the sectors which require team work and getting into communication with people. However, it can also be observed in other social groups. Although the relevant literature mainly studies the burnout caused by teaching, nursing and being a policeman and the other professions from which the society has high expectations, students also deserve to be analyzed regarding their burnout levels since they form a great part of the society, and live and study under hard conditions. Behavioral changes including alienation from work, diverging from the society, unwillingness, anger, anxiety or desensitization, which are usually observed in professional workers, can also be seen in students. Pre-service teachers not only deal with the anxiety of completing their undergraduate education, but they should also handle the stress of passing the Public Personnel Selection Examination (PPSE) which is compulsory to gain the right of professional practice after graduation, the anxiety of unemployment and other personal problems. The aim of this study is to investigate whether or not pre-service teachers have burnout and PPSE has any influence on those who do. The research question is: "Does the Public Personnel Selection Examination have an effect on burnout feelings?"
