An Investigation Into The Link Between Internal Communication And Corporate Burnout: A Case Of Administrators In Select Public High Schools In Kakamega County. School of Communication, Daystar Universityhttps://repository.daystar.ac.ke/handle/123456789/4329Masters ThesisABSTRACT Existing literature underscores corporate burnout (CB) as a significant contributor to decreasing employee efficacy worldwide. In line with this, various studies have highlighted the prevalence of burnout within the teaching profession, with administrators displaying higher burnout levels compared to the general populace. Considering the indispensable role of the teacher in the education system, it is essential that solutions be sought to counter burnout. Internal communication (IC) has been found to play a significant role in creating a conducive workplace environment that fosters healthy relations in organizations. It is therefore feasible that IC may have an influence on CB hence potential solution to CB. This study delved into investigating the relationship between IC and CB among public high school teachers employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in Kakamega County. The research sought to establish: the perceived effectiveness of the IC in place based on official channels used by TSC to communicate amongst select public high school administrators in Kakamega County; the administrator burnout levels in the schools and association between IC and CB among select public high school administrators. The study, which employed the correlation research design, established the following: the respondents rated TSC’s IC as effective; all the respondents reported experiencing burnout though in varying levels and that there existed a statistically significant relationship between IC and CB, which was characterized by a weak negative correlation. The study recommended that communication personnel in organizations take an active lead in the fight against CB; TSC address the lapses in their IC to further buffer CB.enInternal CommunicationCorporateBurnouHigh SchoolsKakamega CountyThesis
