Book Burnout and Secondary Traumatic Stress in County Workers

Download or read book Burnout and Secondary Traumatic Stress in County Workers written by Ashley E. Hanke and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burnout and Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) are problems experienced by employees in careers that help others deal with trauma (Kulkarni, Bell, & Hartman, 2013). Employers are concerned with the negative effects that are associated with burnout and STS. Employees experiencing burnout will often have decreased job satisfaction, engagement, and organizational commitment; as well as increased absenteeism and turnover (Maslach & Leiter, 2008). Similar effects are found in individuals experiencing STS symptoms. The participants of this study were county workers from two counties in Wisconsin. Participants were given a survey assessing burnout, STS, work-life balance, social support, and self-efficacy. It was hypothesized that the STS, work-life balance, social support, and self-efficacy would significantly predict burnout (H1, H2, H3, & H4), and burnout, work-life balance, social support, and self-efficacy would significantly predict STS (H5, H6, H7, & H8). Overall, it was found that burnout and secondary traumatic stress were positively related to each other. Low levels of burnout and secondary traumatic stress were related to a decrease in conflict (work-life balance), and an increase in enrichment (work-life balance), social support and self-efficacy.

The combination of work and family demands often leads to time pressure and conflict. As a result, a growing number of employees in today's organisations are suffering from burnout, a stress syndrome characterised by emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and diminished personal accomplishment. Burnout has consequences for family outcomes, including diminished positive affect, increased marital conflicts, and feelings of stress among family members. Effects on work outcomes have also been reported, such as diminished work performance and organisational commitment and increased absenteeism levels. In response to this problem, a broad array of research has focused on factors that reduce burnout, labelled as social support. This new book gathers the latest research from around the globe in this field.

Book The Burnout Challenge

Download or read book The Burnout Challenge written by Christina Maslach and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two pioneering researchers identify key causes of workplace burnout and reveal what managers can do to promote increased productivity and health. Burnout is among the most significant on-the-job hazards facing workers today. It is also among the most misunderstood. In particular, we tend to characterize burnout as a personal issue—a problem employees should fix themselves by getting therapy, practicing relaxation techniques, or changing jobs. Christina Maslach and Michael P. Leiter show why this is not the case. Burnout also needs to be managed by the workplace. Citing a wealth of research data and drawing on illustrative anecdotes, The Burnout Challenge shows how organizations can change to promote sustainable productivity. Maslach and Leiter provide useful tools for identifying the signs of employee burnout, most often exhaustion, cynicism, and ineffectiveness. They also advise managers on assembling and interpreting worker self-evaluation surveys, which can reveal workplace problems and potential solutions. And when it comes to implementing change, Maslach and Leiter offer practical, evidence-driven guidance. The key, they argue, is to begin with less-taxing changes that employees nonetheless find meaningful, seeding the ground for more thorough reforms in the future. Experts estimate that more than $500 billion and 550 million workhours are lost annually to on-the-job stress, much of it caused by dysfunctional work environments. As priorities and policies shift across workplaces, The Burnout Challenge provides pragmatic, creative, and cost-effective solutions to improve employee efficiency, health, and happiness.
