Nazir Ahmed Nazir is Head, Department of Business and Economics, Mazoon College, Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. He has nearly 20 years of teaching and research experience. His research areas include human resource development, organisational culture and leadership, job satisfaction and stress.

This study investigated the levels of job burnout among 300 university teachers including Lecturers, Readers and Professors. Using Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educator's Survey, the results indicated that lecturers have high level of emotional exhaustion and are found to be significantly different on emotional exhaustion from professors and readers. Readers show less emotional exhaustion as compared to lecturers but high emotional exhaustion as compared to professors. Readers are not found to be significantly different from professors. The three groups are not found to be significantly different on depersonalisation and personal accomplishment.
