“…The increase in contingent rewards and operating conditions, as well as the decrease in role conflict and emotional exhaustion in this study verify their respective roles as antecedents to stress and burnout (Maslach, 1982;Jackson et al, 1986;Koeske & Koeske, 1989;Lee & Ashworth, 1989;Shirom, 1989;Cordes & Dougherty, 1993;Shirom, 1989;Spector, 1997;Halbesleben & Buckley, 2004). Thus, as expected, when the perceptions of contingent rewards and operating conditions increased 58 and emotional exhaustion and role conflict decreased for the post-deployees, burnout decreased accordingly.…”

“…Maslach (1976) further defined burnout operationally in three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. The emotional exhaustion component of burnout, or the strain linked to tension, anxiety, physical fatigue, and insomnia (Lee & Ashforth, 1990), is considered the essence of burnout (Koeske & Koeske, 1989). Depersonalization refers to the coping mechanism by which an individual attempts to stop the depletion of emotional energy by treating others as objects rather than people (Lee & Ashworth, 1990).…”

The Global War on Terrorism has increased the demands placed on military members. The increased rate of deployments, coupled with the reduction in resources, has military leaders concerned that these changing demands will cause undue strain, adversely affecting the military member's quality of life. This research tests the effects of active duty military deployments on homestation job stressors and burnout. Pre-and post-deployment surveys were administered to test for any significant changes that resulted from a deployment. A group of non-deploying members was also measured during the same time frame to serve as the control group. Results showed that deployments resulted in increased levels of two facets of job satisfaction and decreased levels of role conflict, emotional exhaustion, and burnout. The only significant change noted by the control group was a decrease in the level of organizational commitment.

“…Also, following his review of evaluation instruments, Carson suggested that the Personal Accomplishment subscale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory was a proxy measure for job satisfaction and recommended that it be used in place of the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale (personal email communication, Carson, 2009). This view, regarding the Maslach Burnout Inventory, seems to have been confirmed by other authors who state that they regard the scale's core component of burnout to be the Emotional Exhaustion subscale (Koeske & Koeske, 1989;Stalker et al, 2007).…”

ObjectiveClinical supervision is widely recognised for providing professional support, professional development and clinical governance for healthcare workers. Despite the growing uptake of clinical supervision, there have been few studies about the effectiveness of supervision for allied health professionals and fewer studies conducted within the Australian health context. This study aims to identify the perceived effectiveness of clinical supervision of allied health professionals in an Australian metropolitan community health setting. The study also sought to identify those factors that contribute to effectiveness and the relationship between clinical supervision effectiveness, burnout and intention to leave, as well as any profession-specific differences. MethodologyThe research has a two-phase, explanatory-sequential, mixed methods design. In Study 1, participants (n = 82) anonymously completed an on-line questionnaire, administered through the health service's intranet at 8 months post-implementation of the intervention, a structured model of clinical supervision. Study 2, commenced 12 months postimplementation and comprised several focus groups (n = 26), separately attended by supervisees (n = 15), and supervisors (n = 11). The sample was drawn from the population of allied health professionals (N = 120) who were receiving or providing supervision within the study location.The on-line questionnaire sought demographic data, work history and the number and length of supervision sessions. Clinical supervision effectiveness was operationalised using the Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale-26 (MCSS-26©); burnout was measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory; and intention to leave was operationalised using the Intent to Leave Scale. ResultsEighty-two allied health professionals participated in Study 1, resulting in a 68% response rate. Ages ranged from 24 to 66 years, and females accounted for 89% (n = 71) of all respondents. The professions of occupational therapy, physiotherapy and social work together comprised 73% of the total number of participants. Twenty-six allied health ii professionals participated in the five focus groups of Study 2. All participants were female, with 81% belonging to the professions of occupational therapy, physiotherapy and social work.Overall, clinical supervision was perceived as effective. In the main, supervisee's responses illustrated that supervision provided effective professional support, education and guidance for professional practice.'Time', as well as specific procedural factors, were found to be important in relation to Significant associations were found between clinical supervision effectiveness and burnout and intention to leave. Highly efficacious supervision was significantly and negatively associated with Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization. In addition, higher scores on "Finding Time" were significantly correlated with lower scores of Emotional Exhaustion.Effective supervision was significantly and positively associated with Personal Accomp...

Another study indicated that PA was a moderator which interfered with the process in which stressor affected EE and DP 2,30) .
