“…Moreover, a positive association was found between academic rumination and depressive symptoms. Although in this study, academic rumination questionnaire was used, the results were consistent with previous findings (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23).…”

“…Results of Flett et al study showed that after controlling the levels of rumination, previously significant correlations between dimensions of perfectionism and depressive symptoms became insignificant (16). Furthermore, in study by Di Schiena et al (19), results showed that abstract-analytical rumination fully mediates the relationship between perfectionistic concerns and depressive symptoms. However, no complementary association was found between perfectionistic strivings and concrete-experiential.…”

Perfectionists live, while they usually bound themselves with a set of do's and don'ts.…”

This study investigated the relationship between perfectionism, psychological hardiness and job burnout of employees at executive organizations in Birjand County, Iran. In terms of purpose, this study is applied, and in terms of nature, it is descriptive and co relational. The population included 5000 employees and the sample composed of 356 persons according to Cochran Formula who were classified using randomized sampling. Three modified questionnaires of perfectionism, psychological hardiness, and job burnout were used to collect data. Their validities were 0.84, 0.81 and 0.77 and their reliabilities, using Chronbach's alpha, were 0.87, 0.78, and 0.86 respectively. The data were analyzed in SPSS using Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients. Findings showed that there was a negative correlation between psychological hardiness and perfectionism as well as its dimensions in the employees. There was not a significant relationship between self-oriented and other-oriented perfectionism and job burnout. The relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism and job burnout was positive. There was a significant negative relationship between psychological hardiness and job burnout. It is recommended to hold perfectionism and psychological hardiness workshops for employees in order to decrease their job burnout and to strengthen perfectionism at a moderate and psychological hardiness at a high level.

“…Accordingly, perfectionists may experience burnout if they perceive their performance as imperfect (Bieling, et al, 2004;Fedewa, et al, 2005). Perfectionistic concerns were found to be significantly associated with depression (Jahromi, et al, 2012;Schiena, et al, 2012), eating disorders (Dakanalis et al, 2014), chronic fatigue syndrome (Kempke, et al, 2011) and burnout (Chang, 2012).…”

“…On the other hand, other research evidence indicates that perfectionism has alleviating (i.e., negative) effects on burnout and could lead to some positive outcomes including life satisfaction and academic performance (Bieling, Israeli, & Antony, 2004;Fedewa, Burns, & Gomez, 2005;Kanten, & Yesiltas, 2015;Kobori & Tanno, 2005;Schiena, Luminet, Philippot, & Douilliez, 2012). In order to understand the complicated and dynamic relationship between perfectionism and burnout, several mediating and moderating variables were investigated, such as coping styles (Chang, 2012;Li et al, 2014;Luo et al, 2016), and perceived stress (Child, & Stoeber, 2012;Craiovan, 2014).…”

This study aimed at investigating the relationship between perfectionism and burnout. Moreover, the moderating effect of religious coping in this relationship was also investigated. The sample of the current study consisted of 210 physicians, with a reasonable mix of demographic characteristics, working in public and private health institutions in the greater Cairo Area. The data were obtained using a structured questionnaire to assess perfectionistic striving, perfectionistic concerns, religious coping and the three dimensions of job burnout, namely, emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and feelings of inefficacy. Significant correlations were obtained between perfectionism and burnout dimensions. However, the moderating effect of religious coping in the relationship between perfectionism and burnout was not obtained. These results were discussed in line with extant literature. Conclusion and policy implications were reported.
