The Burnout Syndrome among Women Working in the Retail Network in Associations with Psychosocial Work Environment Factors

Abstract

The burnout syndrome is a significant occupational health problem in various employees’ populations. The aim of this study was to evaluate burnout level among retail network workers and its associations with psychosocial work environment. The cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted on workers of one Lithuanian retail network (n = 254), where all respondents were women. In order to assess their occupational stress and burnout, two instruments were used: HSE management standards work-related stress indicator tool and Copenhagen burnout inventory (CBI). The statistical analysis showed high prevalence of burnout—the frequency of personal, work-related and client-related burnout was 53.5%, 66.5% and 55.5% respectively. The Spearman’s correlation analysis revealed that job demands, control manager’s support, coworkers’ support and relationships significantly associated with all burnout subscales. The multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent associations between HSE indicators and burnout subscales. The multivariate logistic regression model revealed that job demands and manager’s support were significant factors for all burnout dimensions. In conclusion, in order to reduce occupational burnout among employees working in retail companies, it would be useful for occupational interventions to focus on workload reduction and optimization, and for the human resources management strategy to focus on maintaining this.

“…Pekerjaan yang berkaitan erat dengan sektor pelayanan publik atau seseorang yang bekerja yang berkitan erat hubungannya dengan masyarakat seperti ritel, pariswisata, rumah sakit dan perhotelan biasanya sering mengalami Burnout dalam bekerja (Exacta et al, 2022). Masalah kelelahan dan stres yang berhubungan dengan pekerjaan, kurang diselidiki pada sektor ritel (Kalinienė et al, 2021). Fenomena masyarakat saat ini yang lebih meningkatkan kualitas kebutuhan untuk konsumsi lain seperti pendidikan dan kesehaatan dan juga kebutuhan liburan dengan meminimalisir kebutuhan belanja bulanan, membuat perusahaan ritel mengalami penurunan jumlah pendapatan.…”
