The present research explores whether the workload and burnout syndrome predict the job satisfaction of basic education teachers during the period of return to the face-to-face classes. The approach was quantitative, with a non-experimental design and the type was a cross-section predictive. The sample was made up of 304 teachers who were given the Workload Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Job Satisfaction Scale, instruments with adequate metric properties. The results indicate that job satisfaction correlated in reverse and significant way with the workload (r= -0.738, p<0.05) and burnout syndrome (r= -0.716, p<0.05). Similarly, it was found that the workload and burnout syndrome were correlated directly and significantly (r = 0.729, p<0.05). On the other hand, the multiple regression analysis demonstrated an adequate adjustment for the model (F= 80.040, p<0.05), in which the workload (β= 0.639, p<0.05) and burnout syndrome (β= 0.350, p <0.05) explained 57.2% of the total variance of the job satisfaction. It was concluded that the workload and burnout syndrome predict the job satisfaction of teachers. Therefore, it is suggested that the Ministry of Education and its decentralized instances design policies that allow revaluation of the work that teachers have been carrying out and promote the execution of preventive and corrective programs to improve their mental health.
