The research results show:

Firstly, the head-teachers in high schools of different genders, different marital status, different types of schools, different areas that schools belong to, different teaching subjects, different teaching grades, different length of teaching, different ages, different educational backgrounds, different professional titles and the number of lessons in a week don’t significantly differ in the job burnout; while The length of time as a head-teacher and the different allowances of the head-teachers significantly differ in the job burnout.

And different ages, different educational backgrounds, different professional titles and the number of lessons in a week don’t significantly differ in physical and emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, while significantly differing in reduced personal accomplishment.

The length of time as a head-teacher and different allowances of the head-teachers don’t significantly differ in physical and emotional exhaustion ,while significantly differing in depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment.

Thirdly, in this study, there are thirteen demographic variables, in which the teaching subjects differs in position-quitting intention but not in job characteristic, while the rest of ones, such as different genders, different ages, different marital status, the length of time as a head-teacher, different length of teaching, and the number of lessons in a week and so on don’t significantly differ in job characteristic and position-quitting intention.

The higher the job burnout of the head teachers in high schools is, the stronger the position-quitting intention of them is.

There is apparently positive correlation among working overtime, achievement pressure, role conflict, overtime requirement, safe pressure and position-quitting intention.

The position-quitting intention of the head-teachers is worth paying more attention to, once the head teachers generate the idea about position-quitting intention, the students’ study stability will be affected greatly and affect the stability and the development of the schools, so the development of the teachers’ profession and the education will be influenced by position-quitting greatly.

If we pay more attention to the head-teachers’ living conditions, study the reasons why the head-teachers leave their positions and probe into the relationship between the head-teachers’ position-quitting intention and job burnout , so it not only can provide a new perspective for the development and study, benefiting the head-teachers’ self-development in education and administration but also influence the stability of schools and promote the educational development in our country.
