Abstract

PurposeJob burnout is a popular topic for researchers and a pressing issue for employees and employers. However, the most popular measure has become widely critiqued, and a new construct – the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) – has been offered as a better way to assess burnout.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses data from 1,022 employees across a wide range of occupations, sectors and industries. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and odds ratio calculations are explored.FindingsThe present psychometric properties of the BAT construct are supported. Overall, 11.1% of employees met the high burnt-out risk threshold. Determinants of burnt-out risk were explored, with significant findings from high perceptions of organizational support, large firm-size, young age and long work hours found. No gender differences. The odds ratio provides greater insights into the risks associated with factors, especially working 55+ hours/week, which resulted in 580% higher risk of burnt-out risk.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings highlight the danger of burnt-out risk and provide a useful benchmark for those exploring the burnt-out risk rate.Originality/valueThe BAT has not been tested in New Zealand across a sample of employees. Given the large size and breadth of employees, this provides useful generalizability to the BAT-NZ. The determinants tested here are all unique to the literature and provide new insights.
烧焦了吗?了解新西兰工人倦怠的驱动因素
目的工作倦怠是研究人员的热门话题,也是员工和雇主面临的紧迫问题。然而,最受欢迎的衡量标准受到了广泛的批评,一种新的结构——倦怠评估工具(BAT)——被认为是评估倦怠的更好方法。设计/方法论/方法该研究使用了来自1022名员工的数据,这些员工来自不同的职业、部门和行业。对验证性因素分析(CFA)和比值比计算进行了探讨。发现BAT结构目前的心理测量特性得到了支持。总体而言,11.1%的员工达到了高烧坏风险阈值。研究了燃尽风险的决定因素,发现了对组织支持、大公司规模、年轻和长工作时间的高度认知的重要发现。没有性别差异。比值比可以更深入地了解与因素相关的风险,尤其是每周工作55小时以上,这导致了580%的精疲力竭风险。研究局限性/含义这些发现突出了燃尽风险的危险性,并为探索燃尽风险率的人提供了一个有用的基准。独创性/价值BAT尚未在新西兰对员工样本进行测试。考虑到员工的规模和广度,这为BAT-NZ提供了有用的可推广性。这里测试的决定因素都是文献所独有的,并提供了新的见解。
