“…If a teacher feels, on a daily basis, that the institution does not care about the well-being of its professionals, and does not appreciate their contributions, there is greater probability for the occurrence of the syndrome. The literature supports this explanation -lack of approval and support by supervisor, lack of proper retribution, as well as mutual distrust (Anomneze et al, 2016;Neves et al, 2014) contribute to the occurrence of BS.…”

Resumo As investigações sobre a saúde de professores são um tema importante na literatura nacional e internacional. No Brasil há carência de estudos sobre Burnout em professores universitários da rede privada de ensino. Desse modo, o objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a influência das percepções de suporte organizacional e social no trabalho bem como variáveis sociodemográficas na ocorrência do Burnout nesse público. Os participantes foram 173 professores que responderam voluntariamente a questionários válidos e fidedignos em seu ambiente de trabalho. Os dados foram analisados utilizando estatística descrita e análise de regressão múltipla padrão. Os resultados indicaram sintomas da síndrome de Burnout nos professores assim como maior poder de predição de suporte organizacional na ocorrência da síndrome. Suporte social emocional, tempo de trabalho na instituição, idade e carga horária foram preditores, mas com menor destaque. Recomendam-se estudos em amostras de outras regiões do país bem como estudos longitudinais.

“…The relation between BS and POS presented a moderate level of correlation for all dimensions of BS. Anomneze, Ugwu, D. I., Enwereuzor and Ugwu, L. I. (2016) also found relation between POS and BS when surveying high school teachers but they employed measuring scales of a type different from the ones applied here.…”

“…Despite the fact that all these previous studies including others (e.g. (Anomneze, Ugwu, Enweruzor, & Ugwu, 2016;Okonkwo, 2013;Okonkwo, 2014;Okonkwo, Onuibe, Okoro, & Madu, 2015)) focused on burnout in Nigerian samples, there have, ironically, been no studies of these concerns in Nigerian context considering the moderating role of self-efficacy in role-based stress and burnout. This research gap is particularly problematic and calls for research involving African population, hence this present study in non-Western context of Nigeria testing the following hypotheses.…”

There has been much research linking role-based stress to burnout among nurses, but there has been little effort to study the moderating role of self-efficacy in this link in the Nigerian nurses. Considering the theoretical assumptions of the job demand-resources model linking role-based stress and self-efficacy to burnout, this cross-sectional study investigated the moderating role of self-efficacy in role-based and burnout relations among nurses in Enugu urban area of Enugu State, Nigeria. One hundred and seventy (170) nurses, comprising 43 males and 127 females between the ages of 22 to 55 years were sampled using multi-stage sampling techniques. The 15-item Job Tension Scale, 22-item Burnout Inventory and 10-item Generalized Self-efficacy Scale were administered for data collection. Results of moderated regression analysis revealed that role-based stress and emotional self-efficacy did not equally predict the components of burnout. Self-efficacy positively moderated only feeling of reduced personal accomplishment component of burnout. Role-based stress and self-efficacy accounted for 3.1% of the variance in emotional exhaustion of the nurses, 11.8 % of variance in dehumanization and 35.3% in feeling of reduced personal accomplishment. Specifically, role-based stress independently and positively predicted feeling of reduced personal accomplishment but not emotional exhaustion and dehumanization. Self-efficacy independently and negatively predicted emotional exhaustion, dehumanization and feeling of reduced personal accomplishment. The study has recommended that policy makers in nursing/health sector should reduce role-based stress while enhancing selfefficacy in order to reduce burnout. Contribution/ Originality: This study is one of very few studies which have investigated the moderating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between role-based stress and burnout among nurses in a non-Western context. 1. INTRODUCTION The role responsibilities of the helping professionals such as nurses occupy the major part of their lives in terms of time, effort and importance which may result in role-based stress and likely make them vulnerable to burnout, hence the need for the present study. Moreover, burnout is a topic of major interest because it has consequential implications for both individuals and organizations (Cropanzano, Rupp, & Byrne, 2003). From individual perspective, burnout is related to a myriad of health related issues, including anxiety, depression,

“…Others believe that they are committed to organizational goals but that at times it is the organizations that do not show commitment to the plight of the workers (Alarape & Akinlabi, 2000). Interestingly, these studies (e.g , (Ebeh, Uhiara, Agbor, & Nwankwo, 2015; Obi-Nwosu et al, 2013)) which were carried out in Nigeria including (Anomneze, Ugwu, Enwereuzor, & Ugwu, 2016) which focused on teachers, failed to establish the moderating role of emotional labour in job characteristics as predictors of organizational commitment. This research gap is particularly problematic and calls for research involving African population, hence this present study in non-Western context of Nigeria testing the following hypotheses:…”
