Abstract The aim of present study was to predict burnout among teachers on the basis of their organizational commitment, occupational self-efficacy and personal stress. In this descriptive study, organizational commitment, occupational self-efficacy and personal stress have been treated as independent variables whereas burnout has been treated as dependent variable. Multi stage-random sampling technique was used to select the sample of 400 secondary school teachers. Teachers’ Burnout scale by Gupta and Rani (2017), Organizational Commitment scale by Hyde and Roy (2006), Occupational Self-efficacy Scale by Pethe et al. (1999) and Personal Stress Source Inventory by Singh, Singh and Singh (2011) were used to collect the data. Pearson's coefficients of correlation (r) and stepwise multiple regression were employed as statistical techniques in the present study. A positive and significant relationship was found among all the variables i.e. organizational commitment, occupational self-efficacy and personal stress with burnout among secondary school teachers. From the result, it was found that all the variables organizational commitment, occupational self-efficacy and personal stress were significantly contributing towards prediction of burnout among teachers. Further, it was concluded that the variable personal stress was found to be the strongest predictor of burnout in comparison to organizational commitment and occupational self-efficacy.
