Job stress and burnout originate from environmental factors at workplace. Job stress disturbs physical balance, and burnout affects the quality of work and services, which may result in leaving a job, absence, and low morale and responsibility. The present study aims at comparing burnout and job stress between physical education employees and industrial workers. In this regard, 50 employees with physical education offices in Isfahan and 60 employees with Isfahan textile factory participated in the study. None of the participants were foremen or top engineers. To collect the data, a burnout questionnaire and a job stress questionnaire were administered to the participants. Both descriptive and inferential statistics (including independent t test) were run to analyze the data. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software. The results showed that physical education employees suffer higher levels of job stress and burnout comparing with industrial workers.
