The aim of this study was to identify the predictors for the Burnout Syndrome in 563 teachers from private educational institutions of the Porto Alegre's metropolitan area. A specific questionnaire was developed in order to evaluate demographic and professional variables. The Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Job Diagnostic Survey and the Questionnaire of Satisfaction were also used. Results showed a predominance of variables associated to the work enviroment in the explicative model of burnout for both groups, although with a different configuration in each group.
