“…Furthermore, an indirect relationship between isolation and turnover intention via burnout is documented (Bauer and Silver, 2018). Empirical studies show that there is a negative causal relationship between burnout and job satisfaction (Wolpin et al, 1991;Baruch-Feldman et al, 2002;Ybema et al, 2010). Employees who are dissatisfied with their work situation develop the intention to quit.…”

Purpose The world of work is constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced working from home, and there is an increasing demand for flexibility regarding the workplace. There is little empirical evidence on the mechanisms and factors that influence employee outcomes, such as productivity and turnover intention, at the workplace and at home. In addition, it is unclear whether the workplace characteristics that influence employee outcomes vary between different nations due to country-specific circumstances. The paper aims to address these two issues. Design/methodology/approach The research model applied in this study is based on the job demands-resources (JD-R) and environmental demands-resources models using German (n = 429) and USA (n = 507) survey samples. Partial least squares structural equation modelling is used to analyse the influence of workplace characteristics (isolation, family–work interference, equipment/facilities and skill variety) on employee outcomes (satisfaction, burnout, productivity and turnover intention). Additionally, a multi-group analysis is used to explore group differences in the factors influencing satisfaction, burnout, productivity and turnover intention between employees in Germany and the USA. Findings The results reveal that significant determinants of productivity and turnover intention include isolation, family–work interference, equipment/facilities and skill variety. Isolation and equipment/facilities are identified as the most important demands and resources of the home workplace. Some significant differences are found between Germany and the USA. The positive effect of isolation on burnout is significantly stronger in the USA than in Germany, whereas the positive effect of family–work inference on burnout is stronger in Germany than in the USA. The negative effects visible for the relations between burnout and satisfaction, and satisfaction and turnover intention are stronger in Germany than in the USA. The positive effect of burnout on turnover intention is stronger in the USA compared to Germany. Originality/value The study adds empirical evidence to the JD-R theory by analysing the influence of the home workplace characteristics on employee outcomes in different countries for the first time using a multi-group analysis. In addition, the study reveals new insights into the differences between the knowledge workforces in Germany and the USA by uncovering how key factors influence employee outcomes such as productivity and turnover intention, partially carried by varying length of experience in work from home between both of these countries. Insights from this study can support corporate real estate managers to make better decisions on the design of employees’ home workplaces and the integration of work from home into the company’s workspace concept.

“…Demerouti and colleagues [50] argued that social support encourages the self-positive aspect when organizational members are unable to reflect on themselves due to stress, thereby reducing individual depersonalization and increasing the perception of personal accomplishment. It was said that psychological burnout increases when social support is low [53], and smooth conversations with superiors reduce organizational members' stress and burnout [54]. As such, when teachers experience severe burnout, social support appears to be a factor that can mitigate the negative effects of burnout.…”

Burnout Syndrome - Characteristics and Interventions

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

As teachers are representative, assistant professionals, the problem of burnout is more prominent among teachers. Some even evaluate that the teacher organization will be the most exhaustive. Such teacher burnout is a very serious educational problem. The problem of teacher burnout negatively affects not only the individual teachers but also the overall educational organization. In addition, the problem of teacher burnout may lead to the disintegration of the school organization by increasing the number of teachers leaving the teaching profession. Thus, it is necessary to understand the characteristics and impacts of teacher burnout syndrome and to develop strategies to cope with it. Therefore, in this chapter, I would like to examine the characteristics and impacts of teacher burnout syndrome and suggest countermeasures.
