Chapter Two: Review of Relevant Literature This chapter will present a review of the extant literature on the various factors that relate to perceptions of job commitment. While the focus of the current study is on how demographic and employment factors relate to job commitment of special education teachers, this literature review will also include an overview of how these factors relate to teachers in general, as well as those in non-teaching fields. Reviewing the literature pertaining to bumout in non-teaching fields will identify commonalities and draw meaningful conclusions that can be applied not only to the special education teaching profession, but also to general education and to non-teaching fields. The variables in this study all fall Within the construct of bumout—a term that is used to describe how people perceive their overall work experience, and what can happen when someone’s perception of their work experience becomes negative (Maslach, Schaufeli, & Leiter, 2001). Stress and job satisfaction are variables that relate to commitment, which appears to be a predictor of the likelihood of burnout. Attrition is the end result of burnout. The first section of this literature review will explore the variables that have been found that relate to burnout in non-teaching fields. The next section will include a discussion of burnout factors among teachers in general (non-special education). This section will be followed by a review of the literature related specifically to bumout factors among special education teachers. This chapter will conclude with a summary of the main issues and a discussion of why the researcher considers the current study important.
