Abstract

Cross-sectional research on 414 preschool teachers in 3 Central Highlands provinces including Dak Lak, Dak Nong and Gia Lai. Survey results show overall levels of occupational burnout and aspects of occupational burnout: Emotional exhaustion, physical energy depletion, depersonalization and feelings of decreased work efficiency were significantly higher among ethnic minority preschool teachers than among Kinh preschool teachers. The results of the research not only contribute to the theory of occupational burnout in education but also have practical significance in proposing solutions to support teachers, especially those from ethnic minority groups in the Central Highlands
