“…Despite the paucity of national estimates for female academic staff in the Egyptian universities, findings from a German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)-funded project entitled “Gender Equality in the Egyptian Higher Education System, carried out from 2012 to 2014” showed a low frequency of female academic staff in the Egyptian universities (ranged from 34.6 to 41.9%), particularly at universities in Upper Egypt (ranged from 5.9 to 18.5%). Furthermore, the project's findings denoted that most Egyptian universities lack programs, which maintain work-life balance and facilitate the integration of female graduates into the academic careers ( 40 ).…”

BackgroundBurnout has been endorsed with serious negative health- and work-related outcomes. This study is aimed to assess the prevalence of burnout and its association with work productivity among academic staff.MethodsThis cross-sectional study involved 240 academic staff working at a public university in Egypt. Participants were invited to complete a web-based questionnaire involving basic personal, health, and work-related characteristics. Besides, Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) was used to assess occupational burnout dimensions (i.e., emotional exhaustion “EE,” depersonalization “DP,” and personal accomplishment “PA”), while work productivity was assessed with the Health and Work Performance Questionnaire (HPQ).ResultsIn total, 28% of respondents scored high in EE [95% confidence interval (CI): 22.5–33.8%], 18.3% high in DP (95% CI: 13.8–3.6%), and 88.3% scored low in PA (95% CI: 83.8–91.9%). Seventy percent of respondents scored high in only one burnout dimension, 21.7% scored high in two dimensions, while 7.1% scored high in all three dimensions. Multivariable analysis showed that EE was the only burnout dimension that showed a statistically significant association between absenteeism and presenteeism rates. The absenteeism rates among respondents with moderate and high EE were 2.1 and 3.3 times the rates among those with low EE, respectively. Likewise, the presenteeism rates among respondents with moderate and high EE were 2.4 and 4.7 times the rates among those with low EE, respectively.ConclusionsAcademic staff showed a high prevalence of at least one burnout dimension. Moderate and high EE scores were significantly associated with increased productivity loss when compared to low EE.
