Psychosocial job characteristics, employee well‐being, and quit intentions in Pakistan's insurance sector

Researchers applied Karasek's job demand–control–social support model to examine the impact of psychosocial job characteristics on frontline sales employees' well‐being and intentions to quit. Focused on the demanding insurance industry, their study gathered feedback from 331 frontline sales employees in four major insurance companies in Pakistan to analyze their level of job satisfaction, burnout, and quit intentions. The results indicated that the level of job demands and supervisor support and peer support were associated with employee well‐being, but that the level of job control was not. In addition, the study found that burnout, along with low levels of supervisor support and peer support, is a significant predictor of quit intentions. It also revealed that burnout partially mediates the effect of peer support on quit intentions and fully mediates the effect of job demands on quit intentions. These findings point to several policy recommendations to foster the favorable psychosocial job characteristics needed to improve employees’ job satisfaction and reduce turnover.

The association of job satisfaction and burnout with individualized care perceptions in nurses.

Individualized care is closely related to the fulfillment of nurses' ethical responsibilities regarding the provision of healthcare as well as having a strong foundation in the philosophy of nursing. This study aimed to determine the association of job satisfaction and burnout with individualized care perceptions in nurses working at a university hospital located in the Central Black Sea region of northern Turkey. A cross-sectional correlational survey design. The study was conducted between 15 February 2017 and 15 August 2017 with 419 nurses working at a public university hospital located in Samsun. Data were collected using an information form, the Individualized Care Scale-Nurse Version, the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman Correlation were used. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Ondokuz Mayıs University Clinical Studies Board of Ethics. Oral informed consent was taken from the participants. There was a significant positive relationship between the total Individualized Care Scale-A Nurse Version score and the General Satisfaction subscale score of the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale (r = 0.121, p < 0.05). The total Individualized Care Scale-A Nurse Version score increased as the General Satisfaction subscale score of the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale increased. There was a significant negative relationship between the total Individualized Care Scale-B Nurse Version score and the Desensitization (r = -0.143, p < 0.01) and Personal Achievement subscale scores of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (r = -0.182, p < 0.01). The Desensitization and Personal Achievement subscale scores of the Maslach Burnout Inventory increased as the total Individualized Care Scale-B Nurse Version score decreased. Factors associated with the individualized care perceptions of nurses, such as job satisfaction and burnout levels and factors related to personal life and worklife should be taken into consideration. Also in order to increase job satisfaction and motivation in nurses, personal preferences regarding the service they want to work at should be taken into account. Nurses with lower burnout and higher job satisfaction were found to have higher individualized care perceptions and to support the individuality of patients in care applications. It is important to consider work-related factors associated with individualized care perceptions, job satisfaction, and burnout in nurses.

The Stress–Burnout Relationship: Examining the Moderating Effect of Physical Activity and Intrinsic Motivation for Off-Job Physical Activity

Current research highlights the need to critically examine the factors that can reduce the relationship between work stress and burnout to improve employee health and well-being, as well as to create healthier workplaces. The objective of this study was to enhance insight into the association between stress and job burnout by testing the moderated moderating effect of off-job physical activity (PA) and intrinsic motivation for off-job PA on this association. A total of 369 university staff (70% females) completed a web survey comprising measures of perceived stress, job burnout, PA, and intrinsic motivation for PA. A three-way conditional process model revealed that the "Stress × PA" interaction was significant for cognitive weariness, and that the three-way interaction between "Stress × PA × Intrinsic Motivation for PA" was significantly related to job burnout, and to cognitive weariness. The results highlight (a) that stress was associated with higher levels of job burnout; (b) that under a high stress condition, PA was negatively linked to cognitive weariness; and (c) that intrinsic motivation for PA reinforced the positive moderating effect of PA on the stress-burnout relationship, especially when stress is high.

Work Values of Police Officers and Their Relationship With Job Burnout and Work Engagement.

Values represent people’s highest priorities and are cognitive representations of basic motivations. Work values determine what is important for employees in their work and what they want to achieve in their work. Past research shows that levels of both aspects of job-related well-being, job burnout and work engagement, are related to work values. The policing profession is associated with high engagement and a risk of burnout. There is a gap in the literature regarding the hierarchy of work values in police officers, how work values are associated with job burnout and work engagement in this group, and whether work values in police officers are sensitive to different levels of job burnout and work engagement. Therefore, the aim of our study was to examine the relationships between work values and job burnout and work engagement, in a group of experienced police officers. We investigated: (a) the hierarchy of work values based on Super’s theory of career development, (b) relationships between work values and burnout and work engagement, and (c) differences between the work values in four groups (burned-out, strained, engaged, and relaxed). A group of 234 Polish police officers completed the Work Values Inventory (WVI) modeled upon Super’s theory, the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. The results show that police officers gave the highest priority to extrinsic work values. Job burnout was negatively correlated with the cognitive intrinsic work values (Creativity, Challenge, and Variety), while work engagement was positively correlated with the largest group of intrinsic work values (Creativity, Challenge, Variety, Altruism, and Achievement), as well as with the extrinsic work values (Prestige and Co-workers). The police officers showed significant differences, between levels of job burnout and work engagement, for intrinsic work values such as Variety, Challenge, and Creativity (large effects), and for Altruism and Prestige (moderate effects). The findings are discussed within the context of the Conservation of Resources theory, which explains how people invest and protect their personal resources, and how this is connected with preferred work values. We conclude that intrinsic work values are sensitive to different levels of burnout and engagement.

Emotional intelligence and work engagement among bank workers: moderated mediation model of ethical leadership and job burnout

This study examined the moderated mediation effects of ethical leadership and job burnout on the predictive role of emotional intelligence in work engagement among bank workers. Respondents consisted of 226 (M = 121; F = 105) that were selected through stratified random sampling technique. Results from the regression analysis revealed that emotional intelligence and ethical leadership predicted work engagement while emotional intelligence was found to be inversely related to job burnout. Furthermore, job burnout had a significant moderating effect on the relationship between emotional intelligence and ethical leadership. Results from the conditional PROCESS macro model eight showed the indirect effect of emotional intelligence on work engagement through ethical leadership to be significantly stronger among bank workers with low level of job burnout compared to those with high level of job burnout. This suggests that low job burnout mediates the indirect effect of ethical leadership on the association between emotional intelligence and work engagement.

Determinants of occupational burnout among employees of the Emergency Medical Services in Poland.

Occupational burnout is a multifaceted phenomenon and a problem often encountered among medical personnel. An example of such a group are workers of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The aim of the present study was to make an attempt to assess the level of job burnout among professionally active employees of the EMS and to compare the different occupational groups (paramedics, nurses of the system, doctors of the system) according to four analyzed factors. A cross-sectional study was performed using an on-line questionnaire. Four factors impacting the level of burnout were analyzed: 1) attitude to work; 2) workload; 3) contact with the patient; 4) attitude to stress). The minimum possible result on the scale is 36 points and the maximum - 252. Data were analysed by means of the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the Spearman correlation, the Ramsey RESET test, the Chow test, VIF statistics. The average score for occupational burnout was 131.0 points (SD ± 31.47). The tool's reliability measured by means of Cronbach's alpha was 0.910). Both nurses and doctors obtained higher results throughout the scale (βstand.0.147 and 0.215). Significant differences were shown between the group working only in the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) teams and the other services (land EMS, emergency rooms, etc.) at the level of p < 0.000. EMS employees encounter varying degrees of threat by occupational burnout. Doctors working in the system are shown to have the highest level of burnout, while paramedics the lowest. Among all the jobs analyzed, the lowest level of occupational burnout has been demonstrated by employees of HEMS.
