Abstract

Utrecht UniversityThe aim of the present study was to make a clear distinction between workand home domains in the explanation of burnout. First, a 3-factor structureof job and home demands was hypothesized, consisting of quantitativedemands, emotional demands, and mental demands. Next, a model was testedthat delineates how demands in both life domains are related to occupationalburnout through work home interference (WHI) and home work interfer-ence (HWI). In doing so, the partial mediating role of WHI and HWI wasexamined. Consistent with hypotheses, empirical support was found for the3-factor structure of both job and home demands as well as for the partialmediating effects of both WHI and HWI. Job demands and home demandsappeared to have a direct and indirect effect (through WHI and HWI,respectively) on burnout.
