Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted clergy leadership by disrupting their traditional routines and roles, creating both challenges and opportunities. Using the Job Demands and Resources theory as a framework, the purpose of this study was to examine the job demands and resources that predicted compassion fatigue and satisfaction, indicators of wellbeing for the clergy, within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Questionnaires from 410 clergy provided the data for the study. Results indicated organizational tasks, care tasks, role conflict, and role ambiguity predicted higher compassion fatigue, and role ambiguity and organizational tasks predicted lower compassion satisfaction. Self-care predicted higher compassion satisfaction and lower compassion fatigue, and emotional support predicted higher compassion satisfaction. Findings provide information on an understudied population and add knowledge about the personal resource of self-care. The significance, implications, and limitations of the study were discussed.

神职人员和富有同情心的领导:新冠肺炎期间疲劳和满足的钢丝绳
新冠肺炎疫情对神职人员领导层产生了影响,破坏了他们的传统惯例和角色,既带来了挑战,也带来了机遇。以工作需求和资源理论为框架,本研究的目的是在2019冠状病毒病大流行的背景下,研究预测神职人员同情疲劳和满意度(幸福指标)的工作需求和资源。410名神职人员的调查问卷为这项研究提供了数据。结果表明,组织任务、关怀任务、角色冲突和角色模糊预测较高的同情疲劳,角色模糊和组织任务预测较低的同情满意度。自我照顾预测较高的同情满意度和较低的同情疲劳,情感支持预测较高的同情满意度。研究结果为未充分研究的人群提供了信息,并增加了有关个人自我保健资源的知识。讨论了本研究的意义、意义和局限性。
