Abstract:Burnout is an important work-health issue with economic costs to organizations and quality of life impacts on individuals. Focusing on Morgeson and Humphrey's contribution to Work Design literature, we identified the general predictive effect of the Work Context factor in burnout and, secondly, listed the moderators that may be useful to improve practices and research when dealing with burnout in organizational contexts. We did a prospective citation literature extraction in the Web of Science database from Mo… Show more
“…In literature, the negative association between WRQoL and burnout is portrayed through ergonomic problems, work pressure, and factors in the work context, such as high psychological, emotional, cognitive, and psychic demands and a lack of favorable working conditions [11,39].…”
Background
Work-Related Quality of Life (WRQoL) is a multidimensional concept that is difficult to measure owing to the challenge of reaching a consensus on the factors involved. Although the WRQoL Scale has been proven effective in evaluating the construct in several countries, it has not been translated into Brazilian Portuguese until now. The aim of this study was to measure burnout, life satisfaction and WRQoL in psychologist, beyond validate the Brazilian Portuguese version of the WRQoL Scale, using psychology professionals as the target population.
Methods
610 psychologists participated in this study, who responded to the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Life Satisfaction Scale and the WRQoL Scale. Spearman's correlation and group comparison analyzes were performed. Bilingual translators translated the scale into Portuguese, then English, and finally back into Portuguese. Adjustments to the final scale were made through a focus group comprising psychology professionals. The scale was administered online using SurveyMonkey. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to test the existing models in the sample WRQoL Scale. Exploratory Factor Analysis was used to examine the potentially improved model fits.
Results
42% indicated adequate levels of satisfaction with life, 53% had burnout for Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization. Protective factors for the mental health of psychologists were identified. The final model to WRQoL Scale comprised 21 items distributed across 4 factors. The Cronbach's alpha reliability index was 0.94 and CR = 0.95.
Conclusions
This study provides evidence that the WRQoL Scale is a valid tool that can measure work-related quality of life.

“…In literature, the negative association between WRQoL and burnout is portrayed through ergonomic problems, work pressure, and factors in the work context, such as high psychological, emotional, cognitive, and psychic demands and a lack of favorable working conditions (Cetrano et al, 2017;Cortez et al, 2019). Hence, conducting an in-depth study on the actual working conditions of psychologists could facilitate interventions aimed at enhancing their working conditions.…”
Objective: Work-Related Quality of Life (WRQoL) is a multidimensional
concept that is difficult to measure owing to the challenge of reaching
a consensus on the factors involved. Although the WRQoL Scale has been
proven effective in evaluating the construct in several countries, it
has not been translated into Brazilian Portuguese until now. The aim of
this study was to measure burnout, life satisfaction and WRQoL in
psychologist, beyond validate the Brazilian Portuguese version of the
WRQoL Scale, using psychology professionals as the target population.
Methods: 610 psychologists participated in this study, who responded to
the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Life Satisfaction Scale and the WRQoL
Scale. Spearman’s correlation and group comparison analyzes were
performed. Bilingual translators translated the scale into Portuguese,
then English, and finally back into Portuguese. Adjustments to the final
scale were made through a focus group comprising psychology
professionals. The scale was administered online using SurveyMonkey.
Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to test the existing models in the
sample WRQoL Scale. Exploratory Factor Analysis was used to examine the
potentially improved model fits. Results: 42% indicated adequate levels
of satisfaction with life, 53% had burnout for Emotional Exhaustion and
Depersonalization. Protective factors for the mental health of
psychologists were identified. The final model to WRQoL Scale comprised
21 items distributed across 4 factors. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability
index was 0.94 and CR = 0.95. Conclusion: This study provides evidence
that the WRQoL Scale is a valid tool that can measure work-related
quality of life. Keywords: burnout; life satisfaction;

“…profissionais de construção civil, professores, entre outros). Sugere-se também o incremento de evidências de validade com construtos do campo de saúde laboral, como estresse, ansiedade, depressão e burnout (Cortez, Zerbini, & Magali, 2019), bem como fenômenos adicionais do campo da psicologia positiva organizacional (Vazquez et al, 2019), como, por exemplo, capital psicológico e interpessoal, como civilidade organizacional (-De Andrade, Matos, Lobianco, & Broseguini, 2020) Por fim, conclui-se esse trabalho recomendando o uso da Three-Dimensional Work Fatigue Inventory (3D-WFI) para pesquisa e diagnóstico no campo de saúde e trabalho. O construto fadiga e sua medida apresentados neste estudo favorecem o entendimento das consequências e extensões de fenômenos como estresse (Frone et al, 2018), burnout, incivilidade no trabalho , bem como pode contribuir para o entendimento de questões que extrapolam as dimensões do trabalho e ocasionam efeitos em domínios da vida pessoa, conflito trabalho-família (De Andrade, Moraes, et al, 2020).…”
