The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between burnout with mental health and personality traits among physical education teachers. A total of 250 physical education teachers (140 men and 110 women) between the ages range of 28-49 years old participated in this research. To collect data, all subject filled out a Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), NEO Personality Inventory Revised (NEO-PI-R) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). The results of present research showed that mental Health extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness were negatively significant correlations with burnout sub-scales (P<0.05) but neuroticism was positively significant correlation with theme (P<0.05). On the other hand, conscientiousness was not significant with burnout sub-scales (P>0.05). Thus, the strength of the correlations obtained in the present study suggests that mental health and personality traits have a significant role in burnout in physical education teachers.
