  • Role of socio-demographic characteristics and working conditions in experiencing burnout
    Boštjančič, Eva ; Zager Kocjan, Gaja ; Stare, Janez, 1967-
    In this study we attempted to identify the demographic variables and working conditions that differ significantly between groups of individuals with different profiles of expression for the basic ... dimensions of burnout. The study, which took place in Slovenia, included 942 participants, all of whom had completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory and a working conditions questionnaire. Four distinctive clusters were identified: low burnout; high burnout; high emotional exhaustion; and low personal accomplishment. We found that individuals in different clusters differed significantly from each other in terms of age and the number of children in the household. The highest proportion of younger respondents (under 30 years of age) was recorded in the low personal accomplishment and high emotional exhaustion clusters, while the low burnout cluster recorded the highest proportion of respondents over 49 years of age. The high emotional exhaustion cluster had the highest proportion of respondents with small children, whereas the highest share of respondents without children was recorded in the low personal accomplishment cluster. A monotonous working environment was the main contributor to burnout. The results point to the existence of profiles of individuals with different dimensions of burnout and are therefore an important complement to previous theoretical findings based on a variable-centred approach.
