Abstract

We assessed morningness–eveningness in teachers and its relationship with sense of coherence and with burnout. The sense of coherence (SOC) is a major factor in determining how well a person manages stress and stays healthy. Burnout is defined as a three-component syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment. In study I, 73 primary school teachers (16 men, 57 women, mean age: 41.27 ± 11.50 years) filled the Composite Scale of Morningness (CSM) and the SOC. Morning oriented teachers reported a higher total SOC. Comprehensibility and manageability were positively related to morningness. In study II, 177 teachers (48 men, 128 women, 1 not specified, mean age: 46.0 ± 11.21 years) filled the CSM and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Morning oriented teachers had a lower emotional exhaustion. Correlation coefficients were higher in the morning affect. Personal accomplishment was positively related to morningness. These studies suggest that morningness is an influential predictor of well-being in teachers. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015
