5. Abstract
Early researches indicate that the main reasons of job burnout were
i) emotional exhaustion, ii) depersonalization and iii) reduced personal
accomplishments. Many researches conducted in different parts of the
world showed that factors of job burnout may include stressed working
environment, job overload, pay & reward, fairness and value. In addition
age, gender, marital status, and experience were also considered some
factors of job burnout among employees in an organization. This study
investigated the reasons behind the job burnout and collected data through
self-developed questionnaires from teachers working in Working Folks
Grammar Schools system in district Mardan. Collected data was then feed
into MS Excel worksheets to find out percentage, mean value and overall
mean value. After analysis of the data it was realized that respondents
were interested in teaching as profession. The subjects were still found
under an unkind level of stress during their work at school. Results
showed that the factors of job burnout were found to be job overload, lack
of mutual support, higher expectations from the job, and less leisure times
during work among teachers working the selected schools. Researcher
recommends that school time should be flexible with more focus on extracurricular activities. Supervisors should be friendly towards teachers
working under their surveillance. Family friendly events should be
celebrated in the schools in which all employees participated without
concerning their positions. This will promote social relationship between
the employees in the same institutions.

8. CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Human resource is considered as the backbone of any organization. Unlike machine
human beings have feelings and emotions which can affect the achievements of the
organization. Better feelings about a job in an organization are therefore inevitable for all
employees to achieve better results. Satisfaction that an employee can get due to his job
because of the positive thinking about his job is known as job satisfaction. Lacks of
interest, emotional exhaustion, workload, etc. are considered to be the reasons behind job
stress.
This study is aimed to find out the reasons producing job burnout in an organization. This
project is about finding the reasons that give lift to job burnout in Working Folks
Grammar School system in district Mardan.
Job burnout is therefore an important topic to discuss. Every person wants to know what
the indicators of a job burnout are. They also want to know about the factors that affect
this. Though various researches have been done on the topic but they are mostly related
to medical institutions and organizations. Few researches are concerned with teachers in
an institutional environment. This study is about the factors that are responsible for
producing job burnout in a specific school system that would help other similar systems
to minimize the job burnout in their institutions. Therefore this study is of immense
importance for both employee and employers.
1.1 Background:
Resources plays a pivotal role in prosper of an organization. Large amount of resources
with their best utilization is the maximum requirement of any organization. Most
organizations in past were relying totally on their human resources only. But due to
advancement in science and technology the intervention of human was cut off to half or
even less than that. Technology on one hand if assisted a person to do its job quickly and
8

9. accurately but on the other hand it also reduced the need of human resources
considerably. This lays pressure on man to compete with each other and even with the
efficiency of technology in order to sustain his job. This leads to job stress/ burnout in
every organization. Employees under job stress sometimes fail to resist and quit
organization.
Topic job burnout due to its mammoth importance always attracted researchers to find
out the indicators and reasons. Job burnout is considered a limitation in personal
perfection. Job burnout has many reasons that can affect the performance of an employee
in an organization.
Workload pressurizes an employee to achieve a challenging task either in a shorter time
or against the capabilities of that employee. Employee therefore strives more than what is
required but in vain. Failing in achievement of that task, employee gets under stress day
by day. This resentment paves the way for job burnout which compels the employee to
quit that job. Job burnout was felt when employee that they are paid less than what is
expected for a specific job. Major reasons of job burnout were found to be workload, low
salary, lack of self-esteem, etc. (Sari, 2000)
Employees usually have to face the problem of workload. Failing to fulfill the needs of
the employer often gives birth to job burnout. Job burnout is lack of motivation and
satisfaction for an employee. It happens when there is lack of communication, mismatch
of employer’s requirements and employees capabilities, overwhelming workload, bad
working condition, etc. Employees with job burnout are often seen cynical, unmotivated,
strained, unsatisfied, dejected, annoyed and hopeless.
Both employees and employer of an organization tends to reduce job burnout for the
effective and efficient work to achieve their personal and organizational goals. Job
burnout gives blows to the motivation, self-respect, self-esteem, high level of concern of
others, efficient performance, effective outcomes, and even offers obstacles in
achievement of challenging objectives.
Job burnout is deliberated mostly a psychological problem. Self-esteem is one of the
basic factors of job satisfaction and a higher level in Abraham Maslow hierarchy of
9

10. human needs. Some other sources of job burnout can be edgy working environment,
miscommunication, lack of information, interaction with others, etc.
In most countries of the world job burnout was found to be due to lack of flexible work
time, good remuneration, self-respect, high interest and favorable work environment.
This study will show factors that produce job burnout in teachers in WFGS system.
1.2 Introduction of the Organization:
Working Folks Grammar Schools system is setup by Workers Welfare Board (W.W.B.)
for the welfare of the children of labors working in factories in Pakistan. W.W.B. was
established under section 11(a) of the Workers Welfare Funds Ordinance, 1971. The
purpose of its establishment was to provide residence, health facilities, education, dowry
(Jahez), merit scholarships, sewing machines, bicycles and much more to labors and their
family members. NWFP W.W.B. established a directorate of education in 2000 in order
to provide free education and scholarships to the children of industrial labor. W.W.B. has
founded 25 schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to provide education to labors’ children.
1680 teachers are working in these schools in Dec, 2012. These schools are providing
education from elementary to higher secondary level. Teachers are paid better
remuneration for their services. Working Folks Grammar School (WFGS) system is
considered parallel to Army Public School & College (APSAC) system in Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa. Curriculum and co-curriculum is given immense importance in this system
of education. Modern facilities and educational materials are provided to each and every
school. No research has yet been done on any topic on WFGS system. But works on
factors that affect job burnout have been completed in different organizations throughout
the world.
1.3 Objectives
Objectives of the study are given as following;
1.3.1 To find out the factors of job burnout in Working Folks Grammar Schools system
in district Mardan
1.3.2 To rank the factors of job burnout according to their intensity in the selected
schools.
10

11. 1.3.3 To pinpoint ways of improvement adopted by other similar organizations.
1.3.4 To give recommendations for improvement in the WFGS system.
1.4 Significance:
This study will be significant for an employee and employer of an organization to know
about the main reasons behind job burnout. This will also help employees of an
organization in seeking job satisfaction by reducing job burnout. They will assist
employers and stakeholder about the needs of an employee working in that specific
organization. This study will help strategic managers to make requisite planning for
reducing situations which yield in job burnout. This study will add to existing researches
done with the same title but in different work environment of WFGS system.
Specifically this will show teachers the ways to avoid job burnout. Results of this study
will be implemented by W.W.B. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in assessing teachers’ satisfaction
against their performances. This will benefit concern authority in taking any future
decisions about teachers and their work environments. This study will help researchers
anywhere around the world for analyzing the same situation in different working
environment.

12. CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1
Job Burnout:
Sole proprietorship is considered a very old type of business. Due to its elastic nature of
starting and ending a business easily, it always gained preference as compared to other
types of businesses. It is estimated that 80% of businesses are sole proprietorships which
create the idea of self-employed. Self-employed persons usually have a large
responsibility of management its owned business themselves. They are owner and
managers at the same time. But due to unlimited liabilities this type of business is not like
by investors when it comes to large capital investment.
Partnership and companies are more likely for large capital investment. Companies where
management is kept aloof from owners are very prosperous. Though this type of business
is very rare but has almost all the money invested in businesses in the world. Companies
hire employees which are usually not owners of the business themselves. Business itself
is considered an entity from both managers and owners. The development of a company
mostly depends on the performance of its employees. Employees do hardwork to achieve
organizational objectives in order to increase the organization’s reputation, assets and
owners’ shares. On the other company provides promotion, remuneration, benefits,
relaxation and other facilities to encourage its employees to move forward. When both
these channels are working properly, company does prosper and employees are usually
satisfied. Any blockage in these channels can produce job burnout.
Job burnout or Job stress is usually considered as negative feelings about one’s own job
in an organization. Job burnout deteriorates the performance of an employee which can
result in reduction of outcomes of that organization. "Burnout refers to a cluster of
physical, emotional, and interactional symptoms, including emotional exhaustion, a sense
of lacking personal accomplishment and depersonalization of clients” (Musa Gursel,
Sunbul & Sari 2002).
12

13. Job burnout is a physical and psychological situation of a person in which he feels
discomfort and dejected due to certain reasons during job in an organization.
Job burnout is a mental experience with negative inclination that may be the response of
supervisor and subordinate to stress related to their jobs. It is a collection of physical,
emotional, and relative signs, including emotional exhaustion, i.e. a sense of lacking selfsatisfaction and lack of personalization. (Gursel et al., 2002)
It is a kind of situation in which a person feels that what he is doing is much more than
what he gets in response of this job. It may be the inner feelings of an employee about his
internal and external environment. He may be feeling that his inner self is not satisfied
with what he is considering to acquire from a job doing in an organization or he may be
thinking that others are not giving him what he is worthy of. There is a lack of
confidence, lack of required energy, disappointment, and hence depersonalization in a
person with job burnout.
Sometimes it is difficult to investigate a person with job burnout because certain people
have the ability to conceal one’s own feelings from others and do his job regularly though
he may be relentless inside. This can be very perilous for the organization and that person
itself. But most employees with job stress want to make others know that they are not
satisfied with the current situation. Hence job burnout can be identified in a person
because of few symptoms that can be sensed among the affectees. Lack of job
commitment, cynicism, helplessness, resentfulness and prolongs absenteeism are some
symptoms that describe job burnout in an employee. Job burnout also produces some
health related problems such as anxiety, hypertension, and weariness.
Various researches have been done to find out the symptoms of Job burnout, factors that
produce it and intensity of each factor. Probably, the work of Maslach is the most
prominent one. Maslach (2003) defines burnout as a psychological syndrome which
includes persistent stress in the workplace. Burnout is intellectualized as consequence of
prolong professional stress, particularly among workers who deal with other persons in
one or another way. (Federici, Skaalvik, 2012)
13

14. Job burnout, in most researches, has been stated as psychological disease that affects the
job of an employee in an organization. Similarly this disease is closely connected with
stress in job workplace. A person under severe stress becomes vulnerable to job burnout.
This stress has been noticed to become much more disturbing when a person has to
interact with other persons inevitably and unwillingly. This pressurizes a person to
intermingle with other persons reluctantly which gives birth to negative stress. If the
person continues his job under stress in this situation usually produces physical,
emotional and psychological diseases. Hence, it becomes the cause of job burnout.
2.2
Job Burnout in Educational Institutions:
Job burnout in education institution has an equal importance like in any other
organization. Researchers are usually more concerned with teaching staff in educational
institutions to identify the reasons of their job burnout. Teachers and students are the two
key wheels of the same vehicle.
Jobs that require no formal education was perceived easy to get and jobs that require
higher degree of education were considered difficult to pursue. People found it most easy
to pursue a job as a farmer and most difficult as a teacher, doctor and to work as a
government employee if studied independent of age, sex and education. (Zhang et al.,
2012)
Teaching being a difficult profession is usually supported by recreational activities to
alleviate boredom and physical exhaustion. Teachers still do feel job burnout in one or
another form of its nature.
It is sometimes very necessary to identify latent danger burnout poses for the individual
and for the organization and it is also not impossible to take practical actions to alleviate
stress. Teachers require chances to remember their motives for uniqueness entering the
field, to search increasing their achievements to feel pride in past successes, to know that
feelings of the frustration and dissuasion are mutually shared by most of the colleagues.
(Meadow, 1981)
14

15. Researches displayed that male teachers are more vulnerable to job burnout as compared
to female. There may be many reasons behind this but it was seen that female teachers
showed more commitment to their jobs as compared to male teachers.
Female are considered to be more responsible, superior qualification, and showed great
aptitude. They have more propensities for challenging jobs comparatively, though they
have to do their domestic jobs as well. Additionally, male teachers are rectified by too
much tuition work and are not compelled to fulfill any domestic obligations. A research
study conducted in India shows that rural teachers are more satisfied as compared to
urban teachers. It is because urban teachers expect more from their jobs as compared to
rural teachers inspite of their better qualification and talent. (Singh et al., 2010)
Teachers tend to get maximum of their jobs in educational institutions, especially
colleges. Their job satisfaction is therefore linked with what they expect from their
services. In other words good remuneration and better compensation can add to the job
satisfaction of teachers.
A study revealed that when the psychological needs of teachers are satisfied they showed
high level of self-esteem, higher mental comfort, true motivation, less anxiety and
positive institutional behavior. This leads to higher efficacy of teachers towards their
jobs. (Sadegi et al., 2013)
Teachers believe that they should be more respected than any other professional because
of their services towards the society. In most civilized nations of the world teachers are
given their desirable respect but this is faded away with modernization in the world.
Society, teachers, students, parents are closely connected. Teachers cannot be segregated
from their society.
Teachers are assumed, in a study in China, to be more satisfied with their lives but less
satisfied with their communities. Teachers are still respected in in China under the effect
of traditional Chinese culture. (Chen, 2010)
An objection on teachers is that they are more reserved from the society they live in.
They are considered more rigid to any change around them.
15

16. Education professionals are seldom prepared for change. Teacher trainings usually do not
succeed to highlight the dangerous of the status quo in their working lives. Similarly
social support and guidance of head teachers or principals are also vital for high morale.
Teachers usually believe that appointment of new head teacher or principal will develop
the quality of his working life. On the other hand, dissatisfaction results when current
head teacher or principal does not respond well. (Evas, 2000)
2.3
Job Burnout in Pakistani Organizations/ Institutions:
Pakistan is a developing country due to which its literacy rate is very low as compared to
some other developing countries. Different systems of education do exist in Pakistan,
which if improved the literacy but also deteriorated the overall situation of educational
system. Teachers in most of these schools are more exposed to job burnout because of
many reasons. A study in public sector in Pakistan tells that overall, 59% respondents
were dissatisfied with their job. Less than half of the participants showed satisfaction
towards their working environment, and 68% participants were contented with their
responsibilities. Participants 66% showed frustration due to the extraneous tasks
consigned to them. (Kumar et al., 2013)
Due to cultural constrains, female workers find it difficult to work in Pakistan. They find
it difficult to move to their work places and back home. They also discover deterrence
during work in working places.
However, research showed that gender have almost no relationship to job satisfaction.
But comparatively female showed less satisfied that males. (Dantzker, 1998)
Female teachers in Pakistan are facing too many problems as compared to other countries
of the world. Men are considered more dominant in the society in Pakistan as compared
to women though women are highly revered in this culture.
Both male and female teachers are given their due regard in the society in Pakistan. They
are not respected as they should be according to the state religion of Islam. Teachers in
Pakistan mostly belong to the middle status and therefore live their lives hardly.
16

17. 2.4
Factors Affecting Job:
Researchers have used many methodologies to identify reasons behind job burnout and
recommend solutions to reduce them for producing job satisfaction in an organization.
Experimental research methodology is used by researches in medical sciences mostly
whereas descriptive research has been used by researches in social sciences preferably.
Findings of both these types of researches are not much different from each other.
Job burnout may be due to situations that have prolong stressed working hours, work
overload under pressure, absence of breaks and rest, inappropriate challenging
expectations to accomplish a task in limited intervals of time and with less available
resources. It is both physical and psychological problem which may be due to internal
conflicts within itself or external uncontrollable forces. (Altaf & Awan, 2011)
Personal interest, job overload, working environment, lack of social support, less pay and
benefits and nonexistence of self-respect are few main reasons behind job burnout.
Various aspects of working environments have been postulated or perceived to be related
to experiencing stress that would eventually affect health. Job settings that are possible
sources of stress for workers are the social or psychosocial characteristics of the work
situation. (Pugliesi, 1999)
Working environment has tremendous effects on human nature which can be both
positive and negative. Working environment may consist of leadership style, structure of
organization, goals and mission, nature of workers in the same setting, etc.
Intensive researches indicate the individuals with higher educational levels undergo more
job burnout. They may be exposed to it due to their substantial responsibilities or because
of their greater expectations from their jobs. (Maslach et al., 2001)
Higher qualified individuals therefore are considered to be more under stressed mainly
either because of their high expectations or challenging tasks assigned to them. Usually
tasks are assigned to an employee according to its caliber. Accomplishing that task with
no proper compensation dishearten a qualified employee.
17

18. Of many reasons behind teachers’ job burnout recruiting, retaining, promotion and
remuneration based on their assessment of teachers’ capabilities and actual efficacy in
hovering students’ achievement and other results, and is not based on a set of teacher
characteristics such as education and experience in the same field. (Hanushek & Rivkin,
2007)
Researches explored that social support can reduce the job burnout. If teachers get social
support they feel less job burnout.
A researcher finds a shortage in research because it does not explore any relationship
between the teachers job burnout and teachers social support. (Zhongying, 2008)
Remuneration also plays a pivotal role in reducing job burnout. Teacher if gets what he
wants out of the job, he feels satisfaction towards that job. Remuneration can be in the
form of salary and other benefits that teachers get in response of their jobs in an
organization.
If a person finds it work interesting, pay reasonable, promotional chances decent,
supervisor compassionate and co-workers sociable, then this situation leads a person to
envisage job satisfaction. (Singh, 2010)
Teachers’ performance can be enhanced by providing them their due rights, i.e. timely
promotion, good payment and recreational breaks. Teachers need favorable working
milieu where they can effectually impart their duties.
Sudden teachers’ promotion, worthwhile payment and job contentment are the main
factors that guide teachers’ insight as a vehicle of conveying, creating and improving
their job performance. (Alimi et al., 2011)
Recreational breaks do not mean that they should be indulged into frivolous activities.
These breaks should facilitate teachers to spare time for their families. Low income of
teachers does not support too much luxurious accomplishments.
Teachers who have lower income are more susceptible to job burnout through emotional
exhaustion and depersonalization. Less experience Turkish teachers stated their high
18

19. depersonalization. Whereas drinking, smoking and marital status as other factors showed
no relations with job burnout. (Demirel et al., 2005)
Corollary, these studies showed that there are many reasons that produce job burnout of
teachers but emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and stressed working environment
can be considered the most important of these.
Lack of personal interest, less remuneration, work overload, no promotional
opportunities, lack of rewards, nonexistence of leisure times, lack of social support, high
job expectations, absence of self-respect are few reasons that yield job burnout among
teachers.

20. CHAPTER 3
METHODOLOGY
Descriptive type of research is used in this study and used quantitative research for
collection of data. Quantitative research has been used to get responses of the subject.
Data collected is compared with the research results obtained from researches done on
the same topic worldwide.
2.1
Data Collection Sources
Researcher used survey to collect data from teachers in WFGS system in district Mardan.
Primary source of data collection is used to gather data for analysis of factors of job
burnout. Whereas the secondary data is collected from published books, journals,
research papers, etc. available in hard at library or through reliable sources on internet.
2.2
Data Collection Tools/ Instruments
This study is conducted through using questionnaires prepared by the researcher
according to the need of the project. These questionnaires are framed on the famous
Likert Scale. Self-made Questionnaires are used in order to acquire correct and to the
point data about the research topic.
2.3
Subject/ Participants
There are 4 Working Folks Grammar Schools in district Mardan. Population of teachers
in these schools is 284, working in two shifts (morning and evening). Unit of analysis of
this research is individual, i.e. teacher. Data is collected from teachers teaching at
primary, middle and high levels only. A sample of 50 teachers is selected using simple
random sampling technique. Sampling frame for the study is teachers working both at
morning and evening shift in these four (4) WFG Schools in district Mardan.

34. 4.1 Summary:
Analysis of the above data showed that most teachers like their profession of teaching.
They thought that teaching as profession greatly added to their respect in society.
Teachers showed their extensive interest in teaching. They showed their high intentions
to start a day with enthusiasm to do innovative and creative thing in teaching which may
improve their own performance in their students’ accomplishments. Lesson planning is
considered an important tool in teaching learning process. Teachers highly favored lesson
planning before attending any class. However they did not like to check notebooks of the
students daily but liked extra-curricular activities. This shows their intents for
recreational activities in the school. The interest of the students was felt to be on the high
side by them. They were satisfied that there teaching methodologies do attract the interest
of their students. This showed that teachers are taking too much interest in their
classroom activities.
Similarly, most teachers were found very satisfied with their works they do during school
time. But they still found themselves under an unkind level of stress which hampers their
success in career. However teachers were found undecided to measure their abilities and
compare them with the tasks assigned to them during school time.
Teachers found their payments enough to fulfill their basic needs but they were still not
satisfied with their remunerations. They expected something more when they compare
their assigned tasks with their payments.
Teachers were undecided about their social relationships. Some teachers thought that they
are more reserved from other people in the society whereas few teachers sensed
themselves amiable towards others. They were also unsure about their value in the heart
of their co-workers. A good chunk of them thought that they are unvalued by their
colleagues. Teachers were also undecided to think that they get easily irritated by minor
problems in the school. They thought that they support others in accomplishment of their
jobs.
Job burnout is still felt by teachers. They thought that they become frustrated with few
parts of their jobs in the school. They did feel emotional exhaustion during their work at
34

35. school. They thought that they feel lack of energy sometimes. Teachers were undecided
about thinking negatively towards their jobs.
Working environment is also a factor of job burnout. Teachers though felt that all kinds
of facilities are available in the school for teaching but classrooms are not properly
decorated. Teachers though found themselves comfortable in the setting environment of
the school.
Teaching as profession was highly regarded by teachers. They thought that teaching has
added to their self-respect and gave them the requisite reverence in the society. They felt
immense proud to be teacher compared to any other profession. They also thought that
teachers are highly venerated in the society.
Objective No. 1: To find out the factors of job burnout in Working Folks Grammar
Schools system in district Mardan
Overall mean value 3.71 of Table No. 25 shows that respondents found themselves
satisfied with their current profession. Highest mean value 4.76 reveals that they plan
their lessons before entering into classrooms.
Overall mean value 3.47 of Table No. 26 shows that they are under work overload. Mean
value of 3.18 shows that the respondents found themselves under an unkind stress during
their work in school. (Table No. 8) Whereas they were found undecided when they were
asked whether assigned tasks match their abilities or not with a mean value of 2.62.
(Table No. 9) This reveals that work overload was the reason of their responses.
Overall mean value 3.38 of Table No. 27 shows that respondents think that their current
salary fulfills their needs. But mean value 3.16 reveals that they feel they are not
receiving what are expected to be out the current job and they have higher expectations
from their jobs. (Table No. 10)
Overall mean value 2.63 of Table No. 28 shows that respondents were found undecided
whether mutual support between them is good or bad. This shows lack of social support
between them. Mean value of 2.42 shows that they are undecided whether they are
supportive or less supportive towards others.
35

36. Overall mean value of 2.91 Table No. 29 shows that most of the respondents think that
they feel emotional and physical exhaustion during work. Mean value of 3.2 shows that
respondents become emotionally or physically exhausted and they feel lack of energy
during their work in the school. (Table No. 17) Mean value of 3.08 shows that
respondents become frustrated with some parts of their jobs in the school. (Table No. 16)
Respondents were also not happy with the working environment. Overall mean value of
3.47 of Table No. 30 shows that most of the respondents think that their classrooms are
not fit for teaching learning process. 3.68 mean value shows that most of the respondents
thought that there classrooms are not properly decorated with what should be there for
teaching learning process. (Table No. 20)
Hence this objective was achieved by finding the factors of job burnout in WFGS system
in district Mardan that are work overload, physical and emotional exhaustion, high
expectations and stressed working environment.
Objective No. 2: To rank the factors of job burnout according to their intensity in the
selected schools.
Factors of job burnout can be ranked from higher intensity to lower intensity in the
following way;
1) The overall mean value of 2.63 of social and mutual support towards other coworkers shows that most of the respondents do not know how to cooperate with
each other. Therefore lack of cooperation among co-workers was revealed and be
the most effective factor.
2) Emotional or physical exhaustion was found to be the second most important
factor that affects job satisfaction of teachers in WFGS system in district Mardan
as revealed by overall mean value of 2.91.
3) High expectations of teachers from their jobs were found to be the third most
important factor influencing teachers’ jobs at school in the same institutions.
Overall mean value of 3.38 reveals that they expect more what they get from their
job currently.
36

37. 4) Work overload and was found to be the fourth most affective factor of job burnout
in the WFGS system in district Mardan. Overall mean value of 3.47 reveals that
they respondents feel that they are under unkind of stress during work.
5) Stressed working environment was found to be the last most effective factor of
job burnout in WFGS system in Mardan. Overall mean value reveals that teachers
were not satisfied with their classroom.
Objective No. 3: To pinpoint ways of improvement adopted by other similar
organizations.
It is evident from the literature review that different reforms have been introduced by
similar organizations to reduce job burnout in them. To minimize the effect of work
overload similar system of schools have made it sure to maintain a balance between
curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities in the school. Some residential
institutions have reduced their curricular activities to only 30% per day. Other institutions
have introduced different festivals to promote social relationships between co-workers.
Classrooms in most modern institutions are usually well-decorated with curriculum
related materials.
Objective No. 4: To give recommendations for improvement in the WFGS system.
To reduce work overload teachers must not be involved in non-teaching or administrative
jobs, records maintenance of students at school level, section heads, housemasters,
Master of day, etc. Specialized persons should be given these tasks whereas teachers
must do only their teaching related activities. Classrooms must be properly decorated that
can enhance both its attractiveness and productivity in learning. Classrooms can be
decorated with subject related materials, i.e. charts, models, maps, pictures, etc. Teachers
should also be involved in extra-curricular activities in the school to alleviate physical
and emotional exhaustion. Remuneration should be at the right time in the right amount
to all teachers as compared to any other organizations of different sector. Regular events
of mirth should be celebrated in the school to promote social relationships among all
employees of the institution.
37

38. CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION, RECOMMENDATION & LIMITATIONS
5.1 Conclusion:
This study elaborated that teachers take high interest in their teaching as profession. They
highly regard this profession. They think this profession to be the most revered of all
professions in their society. They think that they have the social support of the people in
local community. They feel proud to be a teacher because it greatly added to their respect
in the society. They therefore showed intense interest in classroom activities in the
school.
This process is however hampered by the work overload during the school when teachers
are assigned extra tasks which either do not match their abilities or are more challenging
to complete in a given time. They found it difficult to check notebooks daily and like
extra-curricular activities to be more in the school. They like to get more relaxation
during their works at school.
Lack of social support among teachers was revealed in this study. Emotional exhaustion
was also felt by the teachers mainly due to some unkind stress from their supervisors or
executives. They felt that this stress is usually unseen and unknown to them. They find
themselves emotionally exhausted during hardwork at school. They find no energy in the
few last hours of the school time and therefore demands for recreation in school daily
schedule.
Though they find their salaries quite attractive but they expect something more when they
look at their hardwork they do during school time.
5.2 Recommendations:
In the light of the analyzed data, the researcher recommends following few points for
implementation by Workers Welfare Board Khyber Pakhtunkhwa;
5.2.1 School time should be made more flexible for both teachers and students. This
would help to reduce boredom of doing similar activities in the school. Extra-curricular
38

39. activities should be given their appropriate time in the school daily schedule. Teachers
should not be overburdened with frivolous tasks assigned to them.
5.2.2 Supervisor must be democratic towards their teachers. He must give teachers their
due regard. Supervisor must be cooperative rather than authoritative towards teachers. He
should not think teachers as his subordinates but members of the same team headed by
him. Like the evaluation report that supervisor sends about teachers after a specific
period, there must be evaluation of the supervisor done by the teachers so that supervisor
can know about his discrepancies.
5.2.3 Working environment should be very comfortable for the teachers. Standard
schools usually arrange their staffroom very comfortable for the relaxation of teachers.
5.2.4 Regular family events should be celebrated in the school to promote social
relationships among all employees of the institution.
5.2.5 Classrooms should be completely decorated with materials that can help in
learning. Charts with attractive colours, beautiful figures, simple structures, pictures, etc.
can enhance the development of the learners. Beautiful models related to curriculum must
be kept in classroom which will assist teachers in explaining abstract concepts.
5.3 Limitations:
The findings of this study cannot be generalized to all schools because of the following
limitations;
5.3.1 Access to the concerned participants was a bit difficult. Random sampling method
was used which do not assure hundred percent participation of all teachers in the study.
5.3.2 Teachers find it difficult to unclose the actual facts. They may have concealed the
facts in some responses. They may be more biased towards themselves.
5.3.3 Likert scale was used in preparing questionnaires which puzzled the respondents
and they find this scale a bit difficult to understand. They were sometime indecisive to
select between the two closely connected responses.
