Abstract

Based on previous empirical evidence, scholars have argued for a dialectical relationship between burnout and work engagement. However, these conclusions largely rely on latent variable models, which have inherent limitations due to strong hierarchical assumptions about data. As a result, previous findings should be considered preliminary indications rather than conclusive evidence. In this study, we introduce network analysis to investigate the relationship between burnout and work engagement. We demonstrate its utility by comparing the fit indices of the network model and three factor models in a cross-national sample with 2469 employees from Norway and 879 employees from the US and UK. Based on theory and fit indices, we conclude that the network model was preferred in both samples. Using this model, we uncovered positive relationships between two work engagement variables and the exhaustion component of burnout. Theoretically, this study broadens our understanding and show support for the dialectical relationship between burnout and work engagement. Furthermore, by introducing the network model to empirical research, we provide a novel approach that contribute to nuance and ideas for research on burnout and work engagement. Practically, our results offer insightful data on possible points for intervention between burnout and work engagement variables.

职业倦怠与工作投入的辩证关系:一个网络视角。
基于以往的经验证据,学者们认为职业倦怠与工作投入之间存在辩证关系。然而,这些结论很大程度上依赖于潜在变量模型,由于对数据的强分层假设,这些模型具有固有的局限性。因此,以前的发现应被视为初步迹象,而不是结论性证据。在本研究中,我们引入网络分析来研究职业倦怠与工作投入的关系。我们通过比较网络模型和三因素模型在跨国样本中的拟合指数来证明其效用,该样本包括来自挪威的2469名员工和来自美国和英国的879名员工。基于理论和拟合指标,我们得出网络模型在两个样本中都是首选的结论。利用这个模型,我们发现了两个工作投入变量与倦怠的疲惫成分之间的正相关关系。从理论上讲,本研究拓宽了我们对职业倦怠与工作投入之间辩证关系的理解和支持。此外,通过将网络模型引入到实证研究中,我们为职业倦怠和工作投入的研究提供了一种新的方法和思路。实际上,我们的研究结果为职业倦怠和工作投入变量之间的可能干预点提供了有见地的数据。

期刊介绍: Stress is a normal component of life and a number of mechanisms exist to cope with its effects. The stresses that challenge man"s existence in our modern society may result in failure of these coping mechanisms, with resultant stress-induced illness. The aim of the journal therefore is to provide a forum for discussion of all aspects of stress which affect the individual in both health and disease. The Journal explores the subject from as many aspects as possible, so that when stress becomes a consideration, health information can be presented as to the best ways by which to minimise its effects.
