Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate how contract teacher librarians and contingent librarians working in school libraries experience burnout, and to provide basic data that will serve as a reference guide for finding counter measures. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, 100 librarians (teachers) from the school library in Seoul & Gyeonggi Province were surveyed to investigate how their societal characteristics, working environment and conditions, psychological state affect their burnout. As a result, school librarians (teachers) felt almost no burnout, but the most influential factor was self-esteem. In addition, the satisfaction with the compensation system was less than average, and there was a need for improvement.
