Summary/Abstract: The teaching profession is considered one of the most demanding and exhausting profession. Freud calls it an almost impossible job, along with being a parent and a psychoanalyst. The objective of this research is to identify and analyze the relationship between professional stress, burnout, professional satisfaction and individual aspects of preschool teachers and primary teachers. The research was carried out on a lot of 62 preschool and primary school teachers. 4 questionnaires were used: Maslasch Burn-Out Inventory, Professional Stress Scale -adapted Mental Health Professionals Stress Scale, MINICRI-Teacher's Assessment of Professional Satisfaction Assessment, Catell Anxiety Questionnaire. After processing the data, it was found that preschool teachers and primary teachers are living similar levels of professional satisfaction and stress. From the perspective of Burnout Syndrome manifestations, we did not notice significant differences between the two professions. Early teachers are more vulnerable to fatigue and psycho-emotional exhaustion than experienced teachers.
