This study examined the job burnout and occupational stress of a sample of 179 primary school teachers in Chongqing and Sichuan Province

using Maslach Burnout Inventory（MBI

1993） and occupational stress inventory. The results showed that:（1）The primary teachers’ job burnout seemed as a high emotional exhaustion

low depersonality and high efficacy state.（2）gender and school level are important factors of job burnout.（3）The occupational stress is significantly correlated with job burnout

and maybe it’s a good way to reduce job burnout by reducing their occupational stress.
