Abstract
Objective. To determine the relationship between burnout syndrome, job satisfaction, and life satisfaction among higher education teachers in Santa Rosa de Copán. Method. A quantitative approach was used, with a correlational scope and a non-experimental cross sectional design. The participants were 161 higher education teachers from Santa Rosa de Copán. The instruments used were: MBI-ES to measure burnout syndrome, SPC-SP to assess job satisfaction, and an eight-question survey to measure life satisfaction in terms of health, economy, interpersonal relationships, and quality of past experiences. Results. It was found that burnout syndrome has a significant relationship (p < 0.05) with both job satisfaction and life satisfaction. In both cases, the relationship is negative, indicating that an increase in burnout syndrome is associated with a decrease in job and life satisfaction. Conclusions. Burnout syndrome negatively impacts job and life satisfaction among higher education teachers in Santa Rosa de Copán. This highlights the importance of addressing this issue to improve teachers' well-being.
