Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, Self-efficacy scale and the satisfaction with life scale were administered to 120 male rescuers working in a government department serving against various positions. It was found that self-efficacy was significantly correlated with life satisfaction (r= .45, p< .01) among rescuers. Moreover it was found that self-efficacy and life satisfaction were negatively correlated with burnout (r= -.71, p< .01), (r= -.56, p< .01).
