The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between locus of control, as measured by the Nowicki-Strickland Adult Scale, and burnout as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). A survey form containing these instruments was mailed to all special education teachers in 28 school districts in the north-eastern United States. Of the initial 684 mailings, 469 were returned (69 per cent). An analysis of the data using Pearson product-moment correlations revealed significant correlations between increasingly external locus of control orientation and increased perceptions of burnout on four of the six subscales of the MBI. Findings are discussed and a suggestion for future research presented
