The quality of teacher life is the primary factor that affects the quality of teaching.This study explores factors that contribute to teachers' feelings of ineffectiveness.Teachers are faced with a physical, intellectual and psychological threat. Schoolchanges affect teachers as individuals but also their abilities to be successful in their profession and to stay in the profession. This study aims to analyze in a theoretical point of view the literature suggestions about the link between burnout, personality characteristics and coping skills.The literature suggests that there are at least five different categories of valuesthat people may seek to fulfill at work, and in general these values are: 1)material values(such as a comfortable life ),2)achievement related values (such as wisdom, a sense ofaccomplishment),3)a sense of purpose ,4) social relationships,5) maintenance of the self concept.Teacher burnout is affected by the lack of some values.
