From Change to Challenge: The Intersection of Leadership, Educational Reform, and Teacher Burnout

This study examines the intersection of educational change, teacher burnout and the role of leadership in mitigating the negative impacts of changes in post-secondary educational institutions. Drawing from multiple theoretical frameworks such as job-demand model (Demerouti et al., 2001) and transformational leadership theory (Bass, 1985), it argues that effective leadership has a significant role to play in mitigating teacher burnout and other negative impacts of educational change and contributes significantly to instructors’ mental and physical well-being. Instructors in higher education often struggle with heavy workloads, administrative tasks, research and instruction burdens, and other factors influencing their job satisfaction, such
as job insecurity. Therefore, understanding how leadership can mitigate or exacerbate burnout in post-secondary education through the lens of an effective framework has significant implications for instructors, leaders, and policymakers in post-secondary institutions. -
