Relevant data were collected using demographic questionnaire and Maslash burnout inventory. The findings revealed that 79% of the participants met study criteria for burnout, but not at the high rank. Female scored higher than male on the personal non-accomplishment subscale, married higher than single on the total score, 41-50 age group the least on the total score, 31-40 age group the highest on high depersonalization and personal non-accomplishment, and under 30 age group the highest on emotional exhaustion. Those who worked 11-20 years scored the highest on emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and 21-30 working years the least on total burnout, but none of the mentioned differences were significant. Managers with M.A significantly scored lower than B.A on depersonalization and personal non-accomplishment.
