The content and face validity of all three questionnaires were confirmed by experts in the relevant field. Cronbach's alpha test was used to estimate the reliability of the instruments; The reliability of the questionnaires was calculated to be 0.70, 0.73 and 0.60, respectively. The results of multiple-regression (significance level of .05) showed that it is possible to predict the participants’ burnout based on the variables of tolerance of ambiguity and self-compassion. There is also a significant negative relationship between jobs burnout and the other variables (p <0.05). Therefore, the higher the compassion for oneself or tolerance of ambiguity, the lower the rate of burnout among the teachers. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that schools officials and counselors help to increase the level of tolerance of ambiguity and self-compassion as a way to reduce job burnout among teachers.
