An interview schedule was also adapted to elicit further information from the respondents. The questionnaire and interview schedule was validated by a lecturer in IPBA so as to ensure that the instrument was appropriate for its purpose. Data Collection Procedures Before the MBI was administered to the sample, it was piloted on three lecturers. These lecturers were asked to comment on the clarity of the items and to highlight any items that they felt were ambiguous. Feedback from the lecturers showed that there were no items that needed corrections. After the pilot run, the MBI was administered to the sample. The responses to the survey questionnaire were then analyzed. Based on the analysis, an interview schedule was developed to elicit further information from the lecturers with respect to the level of burnout among lecturers. 40
Five lecturers from the sample were selected to be interviewed. The responses during the interview were then analyzed and used to explain the findings from the MBI. Data Analysis Table 3 and Figure 1 show the mean level of burnout among IPBA lecturers. From the table and figure, it can be seen that the mean for the EE, DP and PA subscales are 3.52, 1.76 and 2.04 respectively. Based on the criteria as shown in Table 1, the results indicate that generally IPBA lecturers experience only a low level of burnout in the EE and PA subscales while they face a moderate level of burnout in the DP subscale. This indicates that generally IPBA lecturers experience low levels of physical and emotional ennui due to their daily work pressures and time constraints. Also the results indicate that IPBA lecturers generally do not experience a loss of self- esteem and work accomplishment.
