Koherensiesin, selfdoeltreffendheid, lokus van beheer en uitbranding by maatskaplike werkers

Abstract

The objective of this article is to report on the relationships between social workers’ sense of coherence, self-efficacy and locus of control on the one hand and burnout on the other hand, and the extent to which these variables can predict their burnout. A survey design was used. The study population consisted of 107 social workers. Four questionnaires were used in the research, namely the Orientation to Life Questionnaire, the General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale, the Work of Locus of Control Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The results showed that practically significant relationships exist between social workers’ sense of coherence, self-efficacy and locus of control on the one hand and burnout on the other hand. Opsomming Die doelstelling van hierdie artikel is om te rapporteer oor verbande tussen maatskaplike werkers se koherensiesin, selfdoeltreffendheid en lokus van beheer enersyds en uitbranding andersyds, en die mate waarin hierdie veranderlikes hul uitbranding kan voorspel. ’n Opnameontwerp is gebruik. Die ondersoekgroep het bestaan uit 107 maatskaplike werkers. Vier vraelyste is gebruik, naamlik die Lewensoriëntasievraelys, die Algemene Selfdoeltreffendheidsvraelys, die Werk-Lokus-van-Beheer-vraelys en die Maslach-Uitbrandingsvraelys. Die resultate van die empiriese ondersoek dui daarop dat daar prakties betekenisvolle verbande bestaan tussen maatskaplike werkers se koherensiesin, selfdoeltreffendheid en lokus van beheer enersyds en hul vlak van uitbranding andersyds.

A STUDY OF PREDICTORS AND LEVELS OF BURNOUT: THE CASE OF PROFESSIONAL NURSES IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE FACILITIES IN THE FREE STATE1

“…Another personality factor that contributes to burnout is low generalised self‐efficacy (Rothmann and Malan, 2002). Generalised self‐efficacy is a general, stable cognition (trait) that individuals have and carry with them, and which reflects the expectation that they possess the ability to perform tasks successfully in a variety of achievement situations (Rothmann, 2003).…”

“…Generalised self‐efficacy is a general, stable cognition (trait) that individuals have and carry with them, and which reflects the expectation that they possess the ability to perform tasks successfully in a variety of achievement situations (Rothmann, 2003). According to Rothmann and Malan (2002) a significant relationship exists between generalised self‐efficacy and personal accomplishment, as well as between generalised self‐efficacy and cynicism.…”

A psychometric evaluation of measures of effective well-being in an insurance company

“…It seems reasonable to expect that a three-factor structure will be obtained in this study. Confirmatory factor analyses by Rothmann and Jansen van Vuuren (2002), Rothmann and Malan (2003), Kruger et al (2002) and Storm and Rothmann (2003a) consistently showed low loadings of item 13 on Cynicism. Despite various studies regarding the factor structure of the MBI-GS as described above, the equivalence of the factor structure for different language groups has not been studied to date.…”

“…Rothmann and Malan (2003) found higher alphas (Exhaustion = 0,89; Cynicism = 0,76; Professional Efficacy = 0,85) while Kruger, Veldman, Rothmann and Jackson (2002) found lower alphas for Cynicism (0,72) and Professional Efficacy (0,69). Storm and Rothmann (2003a) found alpha coefficients of 0,88 (Exhaustion), 0,78 (Cynicism) and 0,79 (Professional Efficacy) in a sample of police officers in South Africa.…”

Perspectives on Salutogenesis of Scholars Writing in Afrikaans

“…A total of 79 publications were left: 45 Masters Dissertations, 10 Ph.D. Theses and 24 journal articles. A few of the Masters and Ph.D. studies were also published as journal articles (Coetzee, 1999;Coetzee & Rothmann, 1999;Kriel, 2004;Kriel, Wilders, & Strydom, 2008;Kriel, Wilders, Strydom, & Breytenbach, 2005Laubscher, 2001;Laubscher, Strydom, & Dreyer, 2003;Malan, 2001aMalan, , 2001bPretorius, 2000;Pretorius & Rothmann, 2001;Redelinghuys, 2003;Redelinghuys & Rothmann, 2005;Rothmann & Malan, 2003;Van Eeden, 1997;Van Eeden & Wissing, 2008).
