A task-level perspective on work engagement: A new approach that helps to differentiate the concepts of engagement and burnout
Publication date: Available online 12 April 2017 Source:Burnout Research Author(s): Sabine Sonnentag This theoretical paper differentiates work engagement from the burnout concept by using a task-level perspective. Specifically, I argue that work engagement (i.e., the experience of vigor, dedication and absorption, Schaufeli & Bakker, 2004) emerges during the process of working. It does not only differ between persons and does not only fluctuate from one day to the other (or even within the course of a day), but can vary largely between different work tasks. Burnout (and particularly exhaustion) as a chronic sta...

Burnout and Interventions in Pediatric Residency: A Literature Review
Publication date: Available online 2 March 2017 Source:Burnout Research Author(s): Tara F. McKinley, Kimberly A. Boland, John D. Mahan Despite an increase in interest in issues related to burnout in medical education and mandates from the national residency accrediting body, available literature is sparse in pediatrics, a medical discipline that requires special empathy and compassion, as well as enhanced communication skills to effectively care for children and their families. Burnout prevalence ranges from 17 to 67.8% of pediatric residents in recent studies. There is little that details the pathogenesis of burnout ...

Interventions to alleviate burnout symptoms and to support return to work among employees with burnout: systematic review and meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 13 February 2017 Source:Burnout Research Author(s): Kirsi Ahola, Salla Toppinen-Tanner, Johanna Seppänen Burnout has adverse health and work-related outcomes but there is no consensus how to treat it. We systematically reviewed controlled studies evaluating the effects of individually- and occupationally-focused interventions on burnout symptoms or work status among workers suffering from burnout. Of 4430 potential abstracts, 14 studies reporting the effects of 18 interventions fulfilled the pre-set criteria. Fourteen interventions were individually-focused and four had combined ind...

From Job Demands and Resources to Work Engagement, Burnout, Life Satisfaction, Depressive Symptoms, and Occupational Health
This study investigated the cross-lagged associations between work engagement and burnout, and life satisfaction and depressive symptoms, their demands (i.e., workload) and resources (i.e., servant leadership, self-efficacy, resilience) and relationships with occupational health outcomes (i.e., recovery, number of mental health diagnoses, workaholism). This study is a part of an ongoing Occupational Health Study in which 1 415 employees (586 men, 829 women) were followed twice during two years 2011-12 through their occupational health services. The participants filled in a questionnaire on their work engagement, burnout sy...

Latent burnout profiles: A new approach to understanding the burnout experience
Publication date: Available online 30 September 2016 Source:Burnout Research Author(s): Michael P. Leiter, Christina Maslach Latent profile analysis, with two large datasets, was used to identify multiple person-centered profiles across the burnout – engagement continuum, as assessed by the three dimensions of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Five profiles emerged from this analysis: Burnout (high on all three dimensions), Engagement (low on all three), Overextended (high on exhaustion only), Disengaged (high on cynicism only), and Ineffective (high on inefficacy only). Each of these profiles showed a different p...

Engaged or exhausted —How does it affect dentists’ clinical productivity?
Publication date: June 2014 Source:Burnout Research, Volume 1, Issue 1 Author(s): Jari J. Hakanen, Jaakko Koivumäki This cross-sectional study examines whether job burnout (exhaustion) and work engagement are associated with the clinical productivity of dentists measured by the amount of paid procedure fees in a single month. We conducted an OLS regression analyses of data on dentists working at municipal health centers in Finland (N =269; response rate 37%). The results indicated that work engagement was positively associated with the amount of procedure fees and consequently with dentists’ pay level after seve...

The mediating relationship of self-awareness on supervisor burnout and workgroup Civility & amp; Psychological Safety: A multilevel path analysis
Publication date: March 2015 Source:Burnout Research, Volume 2, Issue 1 Author(s): William Hernandez, Amy Luthanen, Dee Ramsel, Katerine Osatuke The purpose of this study was to examine whether managerial self-awareness (defined as degree of agreement between self and subordinate ratings of leaders’ behaviors) mediates the relationship between supervisor burnout and supervised workgroup climate. Using an HLM approach, supervisor emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment exhibited significant indirect relationships with workplace Civility and Psychological Safety, via managerial self-...

Grin and bear it: An examination of volunteers ’ fit with their organization, burnout and spirituality
Publication date: March 2016 Source:Burnout Research, Volume 3, Issue 1 Author(s): Lisa L. Scherer, Joseph A. Allen, Elizabeth R. Harp Volunteers are an essential asset to the success of nonprofits, government, business and philanthropic organizations. About 64.5 million people, or 26.5% of the U.S. population, volunteered at least once between September 2011 and September 2012, donating a median of 50hours (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2013). Despite these encouraging statistics, volunteer turnover presents a significant problem for nonprofits. Though considerable evidence has been amassed on antecedents and mech...

A Randomized, Controlled Study of an Online Intervention to Promote Job Satisfaction and Well-Being among Physicians
Publication date: Available online 7 July 2016 Source:Burnout Research Author(s): Liselotte N. Dyrbye, Colin P. West, Melanie L. Richards, Helen J. Ross, Daniel Satele, Tait D. Shanafelt Although burnout, poor quality of life (QOL), depression, and other forms of psychological distress are common among physicians, few studies testing interventions to reduce distress have been reported. We conducted a randomized trial to determine the impact of a 10-week, individualized, online intervention on well-being among physicians (n=290). Participants were randomized to either the intervention or control arm. Those i...

Burnout in the Nursing Home Health Care Aide: A Systematic Review
Conclusion Factors associated with burnout in health care aides are similar to those reported among nurses, although the level of evidence and low methodological rigor of these studies suggest more robust study designs are warranted. Our findings suggest research focused on this important but largely invisible group of care providers could yield important advances in understanding burnout in this group and yield potential interventions to buffer burnout and its consequences. Without mitigating the effects of burnout on nursing home health care aides, vulnerable older adults in residential care are at risk. (Source: Burnout Research)

Physiology of School Burnout in Medical Students: Hemodynamic and Autonomic Functioning
This study investigated the relationship between burnout and hemodynamic and autonomic functioning in both medical students (N=55) and premedical undergraduate students (N=77). Questionnaires screened for health related issues and assessed school burnout and negative affect symptomatology (anxiety and depression). Continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure (BP) through finger plethysmography and electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring was conducted during conditions of baseline and cardiac stress induced via the cold pressor task to produce hemodynamic, heart rate variability, and blood pressure variability indices. Independent sam...

Early Career Burnout Among Dutch Nurses: A Process captured in a Rasch Model
This study investigates burnout among Dutch nursing graduates as a process by testing a sequential-developmental model. A sample of 237 respondents was recruited from a population of Dutch early career nurses. Burnout was measured with the Dutch version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS, Maslach & Jackson, 1981; Schaufeli & van Dierendonck, 2000). First, the dimensionality was tested with confirmatory factor analysis. A resulting one-dimensional model with exhaustion and depersonalisation was then analysed using a Rasch rating scale measurement model. Rasch analysis showed that...
