Yet, very few studies have been done on the issue the relationship of work-family
conflict and burnout in Malaysia, particularly among teachers. The purpose of this
study is to analyze the relationship between two dimensions of work-family conflict
(i.e. WIF and FIW) and burnout among school teachers in Pendang District, Kedah. In
addition, the study will also examine whether there is gender differences in terms of
burnout. A cross-sectional study will be conducted and distributed to 248 employed
married teachers using cluster sampling method. Among the schools of Pendang
district, 4 schools will randomly select. Work family conflict will be measured using a
questionnaire obtained from (Gutek, Searles, and Klepa’s, 1991), this questionnaire
includes two subscales: WIF and FIW. To assess burnout, Maslach Burnout Inventory
(Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1996) be used. The job burnout scale consisted of three
subscales, namely (1) emotional exhaustion, (2) professional efficacy, and (3)
cynicism. All data collected will be processed by using Statistical Package for the Social
Science (SPSS) 25.0 version. Correlation and t-test analyses will be used to analyze
