Objective: to analyze the environmental and sociodemographic factors associated with fatigue and Burnout Syndrome in high school teachers of public schools in the city of Goiânia / GO. Method: This is an analytical cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. A questionnaire and two psychometric scales were used to investigate the environmental and sociodemographic data and the scores of Burnout Syndrome and fatigue. Results: 127 teachers participated in the research, predominant age group up to 35 years (49.6%), female (61.4%), married (56.71%), with children (53.5%) and reported that the work brought health risk (81.9%). Higher levels of fatigue were identified at age above 35 years (p = 0.0349), female gender (p = 0.0119) and in those who slept less than seven hours (p = 0.0428). Positive correlation was identified between fatigue and emotional exhaustion (r = 0.6838; p <0.0001), between fatigue and depersonalization (r = 0.4030; p <0.0001) and inversely proportional between fatigue and professional achievement ( r = - 0.3186; p = 0.0003). Conclusion: several factors were identified, both environmental and sociodemographic, which have a significant association with higher scores in the dimensions that make up the Burnout Syndrome, as well as higher levels of fatigue. Furthermore, it became evident that there is a positive correlation between these two diseases that affect teachers.
