Journal Title: Black Sea Journal of Public and Social Science - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

Problem is a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome− as defined by Oxford Online Dictionary. When it comes to social problem solving, it is a way of problem solving when a problem emerges in the natural setting. We can correlate social problem solving skills with occupational burnout states of instructors of English as a Foreign Language. Therefore, this study inquired the relationship between social problem solving skills and occupational burnout states of EFL instructors. Based upon a descriptive research design, this quantitative study aimed at understanding the views of EFL instructors related to their social problem solving skills and occupational burnout states. The sample of the study consists of 116 EFL instructors from diverse universities in Turkey. The picture drawn by the study has shown that those equipped with social problem solving skills do not easily suffer from occupational burnout. The study will make valuable contributions to the related fields of study.
