          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Identificar preditores da síndrome de Burnout em trabalhadores do setor público. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com amostra representativa de 879 servidores públicos municipais de uma cidade da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre, RS. Utilizou-se um questionário elaborado para a coleta de variáveis demográficas e relacionadas às características do trabalho. A percepção sobre o ambiente laboral foi analisada a partir da Work Atmosphere Scale; para avaliar a síndrome de Burnout, utilizou-se o Maslach Burnout Inventory. Foram realizadas três análises de regressão linear múltipla pelo método stepwise em que cada dimensão da síndrome foi considerada como desfecho, enquanto as demais variáveis foram estimadas como preditoras e controladas por sexo e idade. RESULTADOS: As variáveis relacionadas à percepção do ambiente de trabalho foram as que mais contribuíram para a ocorrência de burnout. A percepção do trabalho como estressante e a presença de pessoas que atrapalham o ambiente laboral participaram do modelo explicativo das três dimensões. Nove variáveis compuseram o modelo preditor, que explicou 43% da ocorrência da Exaustão Emocional. "Perceber o trabalho como estressante" apresentou maior poder explicativo. Na Despersonalização, oito variáveis compuseram o modelo em 25%; "perceber o trabalho como estressante" foi, mais uma vez, a variável de maior poder explicativo. A Baixa Realização Profissional mostrou um conjunto de variáveis com poder explicativo de 20%; ambiente de trabalho considerado bom apresentou maior peso, associando-se inversamente. CONCLUSÕES: A percepção dos servidores públicos sobre seu ambiente de trabalho tem importante papel como preditor da síndrome de Burnout. Avaliar o trabalho como estressante e presença de pessoas que atrapalham o ambiente mostraram-se como elementos de maior relevância.

Nueve variables conformaron el modelo predictor, explicando 43% de la ocurrencia del agotamiento emocional. “Percibir el trabajo como estresante” presentó mayor poder explicativo. En la despersonalización, ocho variables constitutyeron el modelo en 25%; “percibir el trabajo como estresante” fue una vez más, la variable de mayor poder explicativo. La baja realización profesional mostró un conjunto de variables con poder explicativo de 20%; ambiente de trabajo considerado bueno, presentó mayor peso, asociándose inversamente. CONCLUSIÓN: La percepción de los servidores públicos sobre su ambiente de trabajo tiene importante papel como predictor del síndrome de Burnout. Evaluar el trabajo como estresante y presencia de personas que originan confusión en el ambiente se mostraron como elementos de mayor relevancia.

          OBJECTIVE: To identify predictors of burnout syndrome among workers in the public sector. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with a representative sample consisting of 879 municipal civil servants in a city of the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil. In order to measure the demographic variables and related characteristics of work we used a questionnaire developed for this purpose.The perception of the work environment was measured by the Work Atmosphere Scale. The Maslach Burnout Inventory was used to assess burnout syndrome. Three multiple stepwise linear regression tests were performed, in which each dimension of the syndrome was considered outcome while the other variables were estimated as predictors, adjusted for gender and age. RESULTS: The variables related to perceptions of work environment were the ones which most contributed to the occurrence of burnout. Perceiving work as stressful and the presence of people who negatively affect the work environment contributed to the explanatory model of the three dimensions. There were nine variables which comprised a predictive model which explained 43% of Emotional Exhaustion. The variable 'perceives how stressful the job appeared to be' had the highest explanatory power. In Despersonalization, eight variables comprised 25% of the model and, once again, 'perceives how stressful the job appeared to be' was the variable with the highest explanatory power. 'Low Professional Fulfillment' revealed a set of variables with an explanatory power of 20%; a working environment considered to be good showed a higher weighting, showing it to be inversely associated. CONCLUSIONS: Public servants' perceptions of their work environment play an important role as a predictor of burnout. Viewing work as stressful and the presence of people who negatively affect the environment proved to be the elements of greatest importance.

          Early predictors of job burnout and engagement.

          A longitudinal study predicted changes in burnout or engagement a year later by identifying 2 types of early indicators at the initial assessment. Organizational employees (N = 466) completed measures of burnout and 6 areas of worklife at 2 times with a 1-year interval. Those people who showed an inconsistent pattern at Time 1 were more likely to change over the year than were those who did not. Among this group, those who also displayed a workplace incongruity in the area of fairness moved to burnout at Time 2, while those without this incongruity moved toward engagement. The implications of these 2 predictive indicators are discussed in terms of the enhanced ability to customize interventions for targeted groups within the workplace.

              Job stressors, personality and burnout in primary school teachers.

              Teaching is considered a highly stressful occupation. Burnout is a negative affective response occurring as a result of chronic work stress. While the early theories of burnout focused exclusively on work-related stressors, recent research adopts a more integrative approach where both environmental and individual factors are studied. Nevertheless, such studies are scarce with teacher samples. The present cross-sectional study sought to investigate the association between burnout, personality characteristics and job stressors in primary school teachers from Cyprus. The study also investigates the relative contribution of these variables on the three facets of burnout - emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment. A representative sample of 447 primary school teachers participated in the study. Teachers completed measures of burnout, personality and job stressors along with demographic and professional data. Surveys were delivered by courier to schools, and were distributed at faculty meetings. Results showed that both personality and work-related stressors were associated with burnout dimensions. Neuroticism was a common predictor of all dimensions of burnout although in personal accomplishment had a different direction. Managing student misbehaviour and time constraints were found to systematically predict dimensions of burnout. Teachers' individual characteristics as well as job related stressors should be taken into consideration when studying the burnout phenomenon. The fact that each dimension of the syndrome is predicted by different variables should not remain unnoticed especially when designing and implementing intervention programmes to reduce burnout in teachers.
