The subject of this research was the professional burnout of pedagogues, where a phenomenon of professional burnout defines as a state in which an individual shows significant levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal achievement in the work he does (Maslach, Schaufeli and Leiter, 2001). It is most commonly attached to the helping occupations that pedagogues are included in because of daily work with other stakeholders - students, teachers, parents. Therefore, the importance of exploring the appearance of burnout on this group is recognized because they have not been a separate target group of previous research of this phenomenon so far. The purpose of this paper was to contribute to scientific knowledge on the phenomenon of professional burnout in educational workers, more precisely the pedagogues. While the general goal of the research was to examine how informed pedagogues are on the phenomenon and the appearance of characteristic factors and symptoms of professional burnout. The study was conducted on a sample of 38 school pedagogues of secondary and elementary schools from the Primorje-Gorski Kotar and Istrian County during June 2023. In the implementation of the research, a quantitative approach was used, where the opinion and the attitudes of participants on burnout were tested through the survey. The results of the research have shown that school pedagogues have been largely informed of the combustion syndrome and that they are relatively satisfied with the job they do in school institutions. As a burning factors, they emphasize too much responsibility in work, time pressure and harmonization of work requirements and perform them at a high level. The assessment of combustion symptoms is low where occupation and exhaustion are highlited. It is concluded that the awareness of the phenomenon within school pedagogues is very high which could be potentially one of the reasons that symptoms of burnout they perceive have proven to be very low. But the question is, to what extent these results are a presentation of the actual state and whether pedagogues are ready to deal with the increasingly stressful working situations that the future potentially brings.
