Tothis end, first multiple correspondence analysis was run,and the results of which revealed a significant relationshipbetween the cultural dimensions and the burnout compo-nents. Next, multiple regression analysis was employed toexamine whether the cultural dimensions can predict any ofthe burnout components. Emotional exhaustion was foundto be predicted by uncertainty avoidance and indulgence/restraint. Depersonalization was also predicted by mas-culinity/femininity and indulgence/restraint. Masculinity/femininity, uncertainty avoidance, and indulgence/restraintwere found to be the predictors of personal accomplish-ment. The risk of burnout among Iranian EFL teachers wasalso found to increase with low Indulgence, high avoidanceof uncertainty, and low femininity.
