Prestationsbaserad självkänsla, organisationella stressfaktorer och utbrändhet

Sammanfattning: Burnout is a growing phenomenon and is causing large problems and costs to individuals, organisations and society alike. This study examines the relationships between performance based self-esteem (PBSE), work related stress factors and burnout. Through a web survey (N=184) the participants PBSE, work related stress factors and degree of burnout was measured through the Pbse scale, Areas of Work Scale (AWS) and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Work related stress factors (in the form of Workload, Control, Reward and Values) were found to have a larger statistical relationship with burnout than PBSE. Of the six work related stress factors that were examined, only Workload could predict the level of PBSE. PBSE had a small mediating effect on all relationships between stress factors and burnout dimensions except for one (Workload-Exhaustion). PBSE were found to have a small but evident relationship to work related stress factors and burnout.
