Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between burnout syndrome and job satisfaction in full-time professors of a Mexican university. The sample consisted of 230 randomly selected teachers, of whom 139 men and 76 women. The design of the study was, not experimental, transversal, quantitative, descriptive, and exploratory. To measure the prevalence of burnout syndrome, it was taken as reference the SBS-HP, to measure job satisfaction was taken Scale of Work Satisfaction based on Socio-cultural and Ergo-environmental factors for teachers of HEI in Mexico.A model of structural equations was performed according to the method of optimizing Partial Least Squares (PLS) in SmartPLS software. As a result it was found that there is a weak negative relation between job satisfaction and burnout syndrome (path coefficient -0296), that is, the greater satisfaction of the teachers, the lower risk of developing burnout.
Highlights
Changes in the economic and employment environment, as well as the emergence of organizations in which the need to work longer in direct contact with people, has had a great impact on the development of burnout syndrome known as burnout or obesity syndrome (Burn for work).The conceptual origin of burnout syndrome dates back to the works of (Freudenberg, 1974), a pioneer in the study Higher Education Institution (HEI) of the syndrome
According to Jones (1982c), he affirms that all the items of the questionnaire have reached significant correlations, between r = 0.59 and r = 0.82 with the whole scale, which suggests that the syndrome as evaluated by the Staff Burnout Scale For Health Professionals (SBS-HP), can be considered as a unique construct, it is important to emphasize that this instrument considers that the syndrome is fundamentally emotional exhaustion In Mexico, publications of SBS-HP are very limited (Preciado et al, 2004), in articles review we have found only one that measures the consequences of Burnout syndrome in teachers used by SBS-HP in Argentina with a very limited sample (Marrau, 2004)
Based on the statistical analyzes performed, it is possible to affirm that the results obtained validate the established hypothesis, that is, job satisfaction negatively impacts the burnout syndrome, which is why it is not rejected
Summary
The conceptual origin of burnout syndrome dates back to the works of (Freudenberg, 1974), a pioneer in the study HEI of the syndrome. This author began to use the term Burnout to refer to a phenomenon of physical, emotional and mental fatigue of lack of interest in work, dehumanization and low level of realization. MaLSach and Jackson (1981), defined that Burnout is a response to a prolonged stress situation in the workplace, characterized by the joint presence of 3 dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal fulfillment. According to the aforementioned authors, the syndrome affects any worker regardless of job, sex and age as long as the worker is subject to prolonged work and personal stress, which affects their performance (Saborio and Hidalgo, 2015)
