“…This indicates that when a work unit has inadequate resources (time, money, etc. ) to support ethical behavior, individual experiences of exhaustion can increase, which is in line with previous burnout studies (Bakker et al, 2005;Maslach, Schaufeli, & Leiter, 2001) stating that different job demands are often a significant predictor of emotional exhaustion, but not necessarily of depersonalization or personal accomplishment. In the light of these results, it is important to acknowledge that even if the overall ethical culture is at a high level, a lack of resources and of personal opportunities to do one's job ethically and responsibly, employees are exposed to feelings of emotional fatigue at work, which can also pass on to colleagues.…”

“…There is previous evidence of burnout contagion (Bakker, Le Blanc, & Schaufeli, 2005) and crossover of both burnout and work engagement in work teams , where burnout and engagement are transmitted from one employee to another both consciously and unconsciously through socializing and interaction. These studies reinforce the notion that people do not perform their jobs in isolation and that team-level phenomena are of importance to individual experiences and work outcomes (e.g., Devine, Clayton, Philips, Dunford, & Melner, 1999;Gully, Incalcaterra, Joshi, & Beaubien, 2002).…”

“…These findings generally do not explain more of than 2% of the absenteeism variance (Bakker, Demerouti, Taris, Schaufeli & Shreurs, 2003). It should be emphasized that burnout, when considered with the MBI, particularly with the dimension emotional exhaustion, presents significant positive relationships with the worker's intentions to leave the organization (Bakker, Le Blanc & Schaufeli, 2005;Glazer, 2005;Petitta & Vecchione, 2011).…”

ResumenEl objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la influencia de algunos factores de riesgo psicosociales en el desarrollo del burnout y analizar la influencia de este fenómeno en el absentismo laboral. La muestra la integraron 142 trabajadores de la salud. El análisis de los datos se efectuó considerando estadística descriptiva y modelos de regresión lineal múltiple. Los resultados confirman la influencia de la ambigüedad y del conflicto de rol sobre el Burnout [F (2.139) = 26.720; p < .001] y no se valida la influencia de éste sobre el absentismo laboral. No obstante, se evidencia una relación significativa y positiva entre la dimensión desgate psíquico y absentismo laboral (β = 0.197; p< .05). Se concluye que el conflicto de rol es el predictor más intenso del componente emocional del burnout (desgaste psíquico; β = 0.585; p < .001). Se evidencia que un esfuerzo emocional sostenido pudiese favorecer el absentismo laboral. Palabras clave: psicología de la salud, burnout, ambigüedad, conflicto de rol y absentismo laboral. AbstractThe aim of this research was to analyze the influence of some psychosocial risk factors in the development of burnout and to analyze the influence of this phenomenon on employee absenteeism. The study sample included 142 health care workers. The data analysis included descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression models. The results confirmed the influence of role ambiguity and role conflict on burnout [F (2.139) = 26.720; p < .001], but the influence of burnout on employee absenteeism was not confirmed. However, a significant and positive relationship has been shown between burnout and employee absenteeism (β = 0.197; p < .05). In conclusion, the findings of this study support the claims that role conflict is a more intense predictor of the emotional component of burnout (burnout; β = 0.585; p < .001). Additionally, there is evidence that prolonged emotional strain could encourage employee absenteeism.

“…The prevalence rates reported often exceed those for mental disorders such as depression or anxiety disorders. However, few attempts are made to explain such rates (Bakker, Le Blanc, & Schaufeli, 2005;Businger, Stefenelli, & Guller, 2010;Glasberg et al, 2007;McCray, Cronholm, Bogner, Gallo, & Neill, 2008;Trufelli et al, 2008). But what does it mean if nigh on 70% of a population suffer from burnout, as suggested by Glasberg and colleagues (2007)?…”

Even though burnout is one of the most widely discussed mental health problems in today's society, it is still disputed and not officially recognized as a mental disorder in most countries. In the tradition of the social study of science, the objective of this article is to analyze how burnout has been investigated in the health sciences in the past four decades, and how this has influenced the ways burnout is understood today. We conducted an extensive quantitative and qualitative literature analysis on all publications on burnout listed in PubMed until 2011. We show that the number of publications on burnout increased considerably over the past 40 years, and identified six categories into which each study can be grouped. The studies are not equally distributed across the categories: Most focus on causes and associated factors. Only a very small number of articles deal with psychological and somatic symptoms of burnout and attempt to develop diagnostic criteria. We argue that just this distribution is the reason why burnout research reproduces the vagueness and ambiguity of the concept that it aims to clarify, and discuss our results in the light of the concept of medicalization.
