Abstract

The aim of this research was to compare the relationship between personality type and job burnout of agricultural extension staff in Zahedan and Khash Counties. According to the Krejcie and Morgan sampling table, 166 agricultural extension agents were selected as sample. The sampling technique was stratified random sampling. To collect data, standard questionnaires of Maslach's Burnout and five-factor Costa and McCrae personality factors were used. The findings showed that respondents in both studied cities had a statistically significant job burnout. One-sample t-test showed that respondents were conscientious, incompatible, unacceptance about experiences and emotional instable. Also, burnout rate of respondents in Khash County was higher than Zahedan County. Regression results showed that neuroticism, incompatibility, conscientiousness and receptivity were able to explain 62.1% of the variance of job burnout in Zahedan employees. The variables of incompatibility, conscientiousness, and receptivity could account for 60.1% of the change in the variance of burnout of employees. In addition, the most important factor affecting burnout was conscientiousness.
