†‘Education Priority Area (EPA)’ is an administrative classification of the French Ministry of Education and was used to define low-SES schools.
‡Model adjusted for age, sex and family status and the following work-related characteristics: type of contract (full vs part-time), number of students per class, weekly working time, travel time to work (≤15 min; 16–44 min; and ≥45 min), psychosocial risk factors (scores of psychological demand, decision latitude and social support) measured through the Karasek Job Content Questionnaire, psychological violence at work according to Leymann’s definition, school size (≤199, 200–599 and ≥600 students) and school location (urban, suburban and rural areas).
§The scores for the three burnout dimensions as measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory were dichotomised using the following tertiles: tertile 3 versus tertiles 1–2 for the emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation dimensions and tertile 1 versus tertiles 2–3 for the personal accomplishment dimension.
SES, socioeconomic status.
