“…The previous study also shows a mixed result from a variety of findings where it depends on the situation of work and task that assigned to the employees. The study by Mohamed et al (2021) shows the highest score of personal burnout on employees higher than work and client domain. However, it contrasts with Sadoughi (2017) study, where agreeableness negatively affects personal burnout among teachers.…”

“…Personal burnout There are two perspectives to consider when discussing personal burnout; it is related to a person's attributes (Maslach, 2015) and the "physical and psychological fatigue or exhaustion", as mentioned in the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) (Mohamed et al, 2021).…”

When working from home started, many were happy to work remotely. Slowly many began to accept this blessing of working online as stressful. Working online has made work burnout a new issue in managing employee's emotional illness. It became a common issue to be discussed, and it can create a situation where the performance of employees might be affected and increase the level of depression among workers in the organisation. However, this phenomenon arose when the current situation required employees to work from home since the pandemic was hit the world. Similarly, academicians are getting overwhelmed with making work from home a success and online teaching and learning. This also affects the university employees as they need to work from home, and the teaching and learning are conducted through online learning. This study aims to explore work burnout among employees by using Herzberg's theory. 82 university staff responded to the instrument. The instrument is a survey with a 5 Likert scale. It has 4 sections; section A is the demographic profile, section B looks at items for personal related burnout, section B has items for workrelated burnout, and section D has items for colleague related burnout. Generally, this study found that work demotivation can be caused by personal related burnout, work burnout and also colleague related burnout. Findings bear interesting implications for work-related burnout during the times of online learning and work from home.

“…The scores of 50-74 indicate moderate burnout, high burnout 75-99 and severe burnout is considered when the score is 100 (13). Any score that corresponded to moderate or worse than moderate burnout is considered significant burnout (14). For this study, we divided the client-related domain into two separate domains, student-related and superior-related.…”

Introduction: The extent of burnout among clinical and non-clinical academics during the COVID-19 pandemic is not well gauged and necessitates further attention. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of burnout among academics in the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Kuantan campus, and the associated sociodemographic and occupational-related factors. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study between March and May 2021 using questionnaires adapted from Copenhagen Burnout Inventory and General Stressor Questionnaire at the IIUM, Kuantan campus. Results: 57 clinical and 93 non-clinical academics responded to the survey. The prevalence of significant burnout was 49%. Compared to non-clinical academics, clinical academics had a significantly higher proportion of burnout with a p-value of <0.001, particularly in work-related, student-related, and superior-related burnout domains, with a p-value of 0.004, <0.001, and 0.006, respectively. Factors significantly associated with burnout among our cohort were clinical work, chronic illness, and gender, each with an odds ratio of 2.72 (95% CI = 1.01,7.34), 2.81 (95% CI = 1.14, 6.92), and 4.86 (95% CI = 2.15, 10.9). Conclusion: Burnout was highly prevalent among academics in the IIUM Kuantan campus, particularly among clinical academics during the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of remote teaching and learning policy.

“…Academics in private universities are employees in human service. Thus, they are very susceptible to job burnout (Chen et al, 2014;Noor & Ismail, 2016;Khairunneezam, Siti Suraini & Nurul Nadirah, 2017;Mohamed et al, 2021). In most academic settings, academics are given two tasks dedicated to them and incorporated into their yearly key performance index: teaching and research.…”

This study aims to study the effect of occupational commitment (OC) toward work-life balance (WLB) and job burnout with the mediating effect of a supportive culture (SC) in the context of employees in the private higher education sector in Malaysia. This paper adopted a purposive sampling technique among academics in private higher education in Malaysia. A quantitative approach using Partial Least Square PLS-SEM (Structural Equation Modelling) method was applied to analyse the data. The results show that OC is positively related to SC and SC has a high potential for lowering job burnout. The study also found that SC positively affects WLB. Furthermore, SC was found to elucidate the effect between OC, WLB and job burnout among employees in the private higher education sector. The study has two major theoretical implications. The study reaffirms the existing theory by demonstrating that OC, WLB, and job burnout are significantly related through support culture as a mediator. In addition, the study extends the existing theory by putting forward that understanding the effect of OC on employees' work behaviour in the private higher education research model can account for the variations in different sectors and contexts.
