“…Burnout was primarily predicted by high frequency of face-to-face interaction with patients, weak work-group cohesion, and perceived unfairness and control; longer career increased the likelihood of burnout. This is in contrast with our findings, as well as with some other studies 20,23 showing a protective effect of years of employment, maybe due to coping strategies or other factors.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate psychiatric morbidity and emotional exhaustion among physicians and nurses of a general hospital in central Italy, examining the association with perceived job-related factors. Anonymous questionnaires were distributed to all 323 hospital physicians and 609 nurses of a nonprofit health organization in Rome, Italy. Standardized instruments were used to evaluate psychiatric morbidity (General Health Questionnaire), burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory), and perceived job-related factors. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between job-related factors, psychiatric morbidity, and burnout, controlling for demographic factors. Questionnaires were returned by 155 physicians and 216 nurses (overall response rate 40%). Estimated prevalence of psychiatric morbidity was 25% among physicians and 36.9% among nurses. Burnout on the emotional exhaustion scale affected 38.7% of physicians and 46.4% of nurses. Personnel with emotional exhaustion was at higher risk of psychiatric morbidity (p < .001). The likelihood of psychiatric morbidity among physicians was increased by perceived insufficient recognition of personal commitments by the unit's head (odds ratio [OR] = 4.21; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2-15.1; p = .027), insufficient managerial ability of the unit's head (OR = 3.45; 95% CI 1.2-10.1; p = .023), and unsatisfactory communication (OR = 5.30; 95% CI 1.6-17.6; p = .006). Among nurses, psychiatric morbidity was associated with insufficient ability of the unit's head to solve conflicts, insufficient decisional power in relation to responsibilities, insufficient economic rewards and career possibilities, and working in surgery. Similar job-related factors were associated also with emotional exhaustion. Psychiatric morbidity and emotional exhaustion were relatively high, particularly among nurses. Specific job-related factors were associated with psychiatric morbidity and burnout. Improving these aspects is important for the well-being of hospital staff and the quality of patient care.

“…Many other studies carried out by different researchers supported this idea (Lazaro, Shinn, & Robinson, 1984;Shirom, 1989;Jackson, Schwab, & Schuler, 1986;Dolan, 1987;Kumar, et al, 2007;Evans, et al, 2006). Many authors found out that burnout is responsible for low job satisfaction (Lazaro, Shinn & Robinson, 1984;Shirom, 1989;Jackson, Schwab & Schuler, 1986).…”

“…The study and found out that a relationship existed between job satisfaction and burnout that is high job satisfaction resulted in low burnout and vice versa. Kumar, et al, (2007) estimated the existence of burnout and the level of job satisfaction among New Zealand psychiatrists. It also ascertained relationships between socio-demographic variables, job satisfaction and burnout by using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and a Job Diagnostic Survey (JSS) along with the demographic questionnaire.…”

This paper examines the impact of burnout at work (BO), work life balance (WLB), work life conflict (WLC) and job satisfaction (JS) on turnover intensions (TOI) among doctors in Pakistan. The research team developed a conceptual model to test the hypothesized relationships between the variables. Simple random sampling method was used to distribute 300 questionnaires among MBBS qualified doctors working in the private and public sector hospitals in major cities of Pakistan, such as Peshawar, Lahore, Rawalpindi and Islamabad. With a response rate of 58.3%, 175 valid responses were received which comprised sample size of this study. The research team used SPSS 15.0 and Amos 16.0 for data analysis and model testing. The study concludes that there is no significant effect of burnout at work, work life balance and work life conflict on doctors' turnover intentions. There is no significant affect of burnout at work on doctors' work life balance whereas it has a significant effect on the work life conflict and job satisfaction of doctors. Moreover, work life balance has no significant affect on job satisfaction of doctors whereas work life conflict does have a significant effect on job satisfaction of doctors. Lastly, job satisfaction has a significant effect on turnover intentions of doctors.

“…A one-year longitudinal study reported that emotional exhaustion is unrelated to job satisfaction (Wright and Cropanzano, 1998). Other researchers showed that job satisfaction remained relatively high despite the high prevalence of burnout and suggested that further research is needed to ascertain why job satisfaction remains high in the presence of burnout (Kumar et al, 2007). Again, collective societies may configure these relationships differently (Walumbwa and Lawler, 2003).…”

Abstract:We explore the impact of emotional exhaustion on job performance, job satisfaction, and depression in two collectivist societies. Specifically, we investigate the role of organisational commitment as a mediator and as a moderator of the relationship between emotional exhaustion and its consequences. Data were collected from 683 nurses in India and 451 nurses in China. Emotional exhaustion exerted significant direct influence on all criterion variables beyond the impact of age and marital status for both samples. Results in general support the mediation hypothesis for both samples. Commitment was also found to moderate the relationship between emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction, and depression among Chinese nurses but not among Indian nurses. The results seem to suggest differential context effects between India and China in the etiology of emotional exhaustion. More broadly, the findings endorse differences within collectivist cultures. Implications of the findings for future research are discussed.

Burnout and Job Satisfaction in New Zealand Psychiatrists: a National Study

Abstract: This study has demonstrated a high prevalence of burnout and factors associated with it among New Zealand psychiatrists. Further research is needed to ascertain why job satisfaction remains high in the presence of burnout, and factors predisposing to, or protective of, burnout.
