Abstract
This paper reports on a multi-method research
project that explored perceived role satisfaction
and professional burnout among community
practice teachers (CPTs) while facilitating postregistration
education and caseload management.
A bespoke Satisfaction Questionnaire and the
Maslach Burnout Inventory (Educators) were
completed by 23 participants to elicit quantitative
and qualitative data. Findings are presented
in relation to three themes – aspects of the CPT
role leading to satisfaction, aspects leading to
dissatisfaction or burnout, and ways to enhance
satisfaction and reduce burnout.
The majority of CPTs were satisfied with their
current role. A number of factors were elicited
that affected participants’ perceived satisfaction.
Respondents scored low levels of burnout
overall, with high levels of personal accomplishment
and low levels of depersonalisation. The
relationship between participants’ satisfaction
and their levels of burnout was not found to be
statistically significant. However, mean scores
on the emotional exhaustion subscale indicate
moderate levels of emotional exhaustion.
The paper concludes with recommendations to
improve the support provided by employers
and partner universities for CPTs.
