Abstract
The primary purpose of the addressed theme is to present an updated perspective on the tendency of excessive work, including the definition, causes, and effects of burnout on teachers, according to studies published in the specialized literature. The topic discussed in this context focuses on workaholism and psychological exhaustion among preschool educational staff. Workaholism refers to an obsessive preoccupation with work, often leading to an overly high investment of time and energy. Preschool educators may exhibit this attitude due to myriad pressures and demands associated with their profession, including tasks such as lesson preparation, addressing interpersonal conflicts among children, managing classroom dynamics, and engaging with various educational stakeholders. As workaholism persists, it can lead to the psychological exhaustion of teaching staff. This exhaustion is manifested through a constant lack of motivation, decreased professional performance, and even symptoms of depression.
