The Role of Personal Biological Resource in the Job Demands-Control-Support Model: Evidence From Stress Reactivity.

2021

Job resources can buffer the deleterious effect of adverse work environments. Extant studies on the interaction pattern between job resources and adverse environments were confined to the diathesis stress model. This traditional perspective has received the challenge from the differential susceptibility model and the vantage sensitivity model. Additionally, stress reactivity may be one of the important job resources at the personal biological level, but its moderating role was short of empirical research. This study aimed to examine how stress reactivity interacts with work environments in predicting job burnouts among 341 Chinese hospital female nurses. This study selected job control and …

Conciliación trabajo-familia y salud psicosocial en los inicios del COVID-19: un estudio piloto con profesores y no profesores

2021

El objetivo principal del presente estudio piloto es analizar los niveles de conciliación trabajo-familia (clima familiar, conflicto trabajo-familia, interacción positiva e interacción negativa trabajo-familia) y variables psicosociales de salud (estrés, burnout, tensión laboral, satisfacción laboral y mentalidad hacia el estrés) con el fin de comparar dos grupos: profesores no universitarios y no profesores. Además, se analizarán las relaciones entre las variables de conciliación y las psicosociales. 95 sujetos (50 profesores y 45 trabajadores de otros colectivos) participaron en este estudio transversal. Los resultados muestran que los profesores puntúan significativamente más en clima fa…

Different Conceptions of Burnout and Its Relationships with Job Strain and Emotional Intelligence

2021

Burnout is an emotional syndrome that involves a prolonged response to stress. Its study in the work environment is of interest, since it manifests itself through negative attitudes toward work and affects the emotional, attitudinal, and physical level of the person who suffers it. The most relevant instruments for measuring burnout are the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), most commonly used, and the Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure (SMBM). Likewise, taking into account the emotional nature of the Burnout, it is related to Emotional Intelligence (EI), playing a very important role in the adaptive capacity of individuals in stressful situations. The aim of the present study is (1) to analyze t…

The Irritation Scale as an Instrument to Measure Stress among University Students

2013

AbstractThe objective of this study was to verify the factor validity and structure of the “Irritation Scale” in a sample of 578 Spanish university students. At the same time, the study aimed to verify the criterion-related validity of the scale, analyzing the results obtained through correlation with other variables, such as general self-efficacy, self-regulation, depression, and certain personality dimensions. The results obtained through the Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling approach (ESEM) using Mplus confirmed the presence of two factors in the Irritation Scale, as observed in other international studies within a workplace setting. The significant correlations obtained between t…

Longitudinal study predicting burnout in Spanish nurses: The role of neuroticism and emotional coping

2019

Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate whether nursing students' neuroticism trait and coping styles can predict nurses' professional burnout. A three-wave longitudinal study with a time lag of 6 years was conducted, following nursing students from three Spanish universities until they joined the health labor market. The sample consisted in 249 students in the first year of their nursing studies (T1), 199 at the end of their studies (T2), and 70 registered nurses three years after graduation (T3). Predictor variables were neuroticism, emotional and behavioural coping. Criterion variables were the three components of burnout (emotional exhaustion, despersonalization, and pe…

Peer group influence and selection in adolescents' school burnout : A longitudinal study

2008

The present study investigated the extent to which peer group similarity in school burnout is due to peer group influence and the extent to which it is due to peer group selection. Moreover, the roles of academic achievement and gender in school burnout were examined. A total of 611 ninth graders were examined at the beginning of the final term of comprehensive school, and 614 were examined at the end of the final term. The results of the Multilevel Latent Growth Modeling showed that peer group influence was responsible for peer group similarity, but no evidence was found for peer group selection. The results showed further that high academic achievement protected group members against an i…

Immigrant status, gender, and school burnout in Finnish lower secondary school students : A longitudinal study

2017

The aim of this longitudinal study among 9223 students from grade 7 and grade 9 (age 13–14 and 15–16) was to assess whether immigrant status and gender are associated with the level and change (slope) in school burnout among lower secondary school students in the Helsinki metropolitan area. Ninety-seven percent of the variation in school burnout was attributable to individual factors. Both the intercept (2.3, p < 0.001) and slope (0.5, p < 0.001) of school burnout were statistically significant. The slope showed increasing school burnout from grades 7–9. School burnout increased more in girls than in boys. Initially apparent higher school burnout among students who had immigrated to …

The role of work-related personal projects during two burnout interventions: a longitudinal study

2004

Burnout is nowadays a common problem among employees, and a new approach to reduce its extent is needed. This study looked at burnout interventions in terms of personal goals and/or projects. These represent what individuals are striving to achieve, and include work-related goals. Our aim was to examine the extent to which two kinds of burnout intervention, in the form of different types of psychotherapy, influence employees’ personal projects. The two types of therapy were psychoanalytic and experiential, both in the form of group therapy. To determine the extent, 62 employees who had contacted the Helsinki Occupational Health Services suffering from severe burnout participated, in the cou…

Meta-analytical review of teacher burnout across 36 societies: the role of national learning assessments and gender egalitarianism

2019

Teacher burnout has hardly been compared across countries, although it has become a global health issue. This review aimed to examine teacher burnout (effect size) and its variation across countries by testing the effects of gender, gender egalitarianism, and national learning assessments (NLAs).A systematic literature search was carried out using keywords. In all, 156 studies from 36 countries were included that used quantitative methodology. Meta-analytical procedures were used to estimate effect sizes of three dimensions of burnout. Two-level multilevel mixed-effect model tested moderator variables at the country level.The overall effect size found for emotional exhaustion was 38.29 (95%…
