“…8,19,[114][115][116][117]118 Moreover, in situations when one's resources (notwithstanding whether these are psychological, social, or material), are threatened or gains after investing effort are minimal, maladaptive coping becomes more likely 109 . Research in medical compassion 24,26,97 shows that self-protective strategies like avoidance and detachment are common in healthcare samples 119 , impair compassion [120][121][122][123][124][125] and predict burnout 126 . As such, both psychological tension and low expectations regarding positive outcomes seem likely to contribute to the link between being situated in value-discrepant environments and poorer professional outcomes.…”

Objectives: to describe the association between personal and organisational value discrepancies and compassion ability, burnout, job satisfaction, absenteeism, and consideration of early retirement among healthcare professionals. Design: online cross-sectional survey. Setting: primary, secondary, and tertiary care. Participants: 1025 current practising clinicians (doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals) in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Main outcome measures: The Sinclair Compassion Questionnaire - Healthcare Provider Ability and Competence Self-Assessment, The Maslach Burnout Inventory - Human Services Survey abbreviated 2-Question Summative Score, 10-item Warr-Cook-Wall Job Satisfaction questionnaire, measures of absenteeism and consideration of early retirement. Results: Perceived discrepancies between personal and organisational values predicted lower compassion ability (B =-0.006, 95% CI [-0.01, -0.00], P<0.001, f2=0.05) but not competence (p=0.24), lower job satisfaction (B =-0.20, 95% CI [-0.23, -0.17], P<0.001, f2=0.14), higher burnout (B =0.02, 95% CI [0.01, 0.03], P<0.001, f2=0.06), absenteeism (B =0.004, 95% CI [0.00, 0.01], P=0.01 f2=0.01), and greater consideration of early retirement (B =0.02, 95% CI [0.00, 0.03], P=0.04, f2=0.004). Conclusions: Working in value-discrepant environments predicts a range of poorer outcomes among healthcare professionals, including the ability to be compassionate. Scalable organisational and systems level interventions that address operational processes and practices that lead to the experience of value discrepancies are recommended to improve clinician performance and wellbeing outcomes. Study registration: the study was pre-registered on AsPredicted (Registration number 75407)

“…As of now, a few variables may add to the Frustration of teachers inside the university and outside in the sociopolitical environment. Students responsiveness, developing indiscipline and savagery, uncooperative or over basic guardians, low pay and social status, and different problems of the association and the profession are a portion of the variables (Wang et al, 2022).…”

The core objective of the research was to analyze the association between job stress and burnout among university teachers. It has been observed that stress and burnout is the natural phenomenon present in every working place, particularly among university teachers. Therefore a quantitative survey was conducted to determine whether stress and burnout are related and the impact of social support and gender differences on the relationship. For statistical analysis, teachers from four public universities in Lahore city were taken as samples. Survey questionnaires were distributed among 400 teachers through stratified random sampling. The results show that stress and burnout are positively correlated, but social support can mediate in reducing the stress to burnout relationship. Social support as a moderator plays a vital role in suppressing the pressure build-up among the teachers due to job stress and burnout. This study might be beneficial for teachers in understanding the consequences of stress and the importance of social support from university and family. This study might help retain work-life balance among teachers.
