| Descripció: | The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the job performance of faculty members at a university located in Quito, Ecuador, and to identify the potential presence of emotional exhaustion related to their academic duties. Additionally, the study aimed to explore a possible relationship between burnout syndrome and teaching performance. A quantitative approach with a correlational research design was employed. The study population consisted of 92 faculty members. Data were collected from primary sources through the application of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)[1] and from secondary sources, using the results of faculty performance evaluations provided by the university. Findings indicate that only 18% of the participants exhibited signs of burnout. Overall, most faculty members demonstrated satisfactory job performance. Moreover, no statistically significant evidence was found to support a direct relationship between burnout syndrome and professional teaching performance. Based on these findings, a series of recommendations are proposed at the individual, interpersonal, and organizational levels, aimed at preventing and mitigating the effects of burnout within the academic environment studied.
