Purpose: The aim of the current study is to determine the rate of job burnout and its effective factors amongst librarians of Ardabil public libraries.
Methodology: The Maslach and Jackson burnout inventory were used to investigate the job burnout rate and its effective factors amongst all 51 public library employees (librarians and managers) from 5 public libraries in Ardabil. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to analyze the data.

The rate of job burnout in terms of frequency and intensity in the aspects of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and Personal Accomplishment is at a low level too, but the rate of job burnout in the area of involvement is medium on the frequency scale and high on the intensity scale.
