ABSTRACT

This article uses Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory to explore in depth the issue of occupational burnout among private teachers. The hierarchy of needs theory holds that human needs are divided into five levels from low to high: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. Research has shown that the professional burnout of private teachers mainly stems from the unmet needs in multiple aspects. These factors include but are not limited to lower economic income (affecting physiological and safety needs), insufficient job stability (affecting safety needs), heavy workload, and lack of social support (affecting social needs), as well as low recognition and limited career development opportunities (affecting respect and self-actualization needs).
