Introduction. The burnout syndrome is significantly associated with nursing profession. Individuals suffering from the syndrome manifest important health problems. More information about prevalence and risk factors for burnout is needed to prevent the syndrome and to determine the most appropriate clinical interventions when the disorder appears.Aim. The aim of the submitted thesis is to map existence of burnout syndrome in the nurse profession, to compare its existence according to the type department and to find out impact of the demographic characteristics on the burnout syndrome origin.Material and methods. In the empirical part we describe work method, data analyses, their processing and statistical testing. To collect information we used standardized questionnaire, Burnout Measure (BM) – burnout questionnaire. Acquired data are interpreted in charts.Results. Result of our research is to find out that existence of burnout syndrome in profession of nurse is considerable, while we do not observe significant differences between different types of workplace. We have identified by statistical processing the impact of demographic index on the occurrence of burnout syndrome. As statistically important we consider in light of burnout syndrome occurrence characteristic, age and duration of practice. Result of our research is to find out that existence of burnout syndrome in profession is considerable, while we do not observe significant differences between different types of workplace.Conclusions. Based on our results we recognize that it is necessary to strengthen the burnout syndrome prevention among nurses. The occurrence of burnout syndrome was confirmed in our study. The average value of BM indices in our sample was 3.40 for all nurses, a BM index of 3.44 for nurses in sample A and a BM index of 3.36 for nurses in group B. These average values of burnout clearly show that their averages are in the range of “presence of signals of burnout” In this category of the BM index there are significant signs of burnout, but it is not developed burnout syndrome. One alarming finding was that three nurses in sample B found themselves in BM index band 5, which means an emergency state in which it is necessary to seek professional help.

“…Vallen (1993) affirmed that a healthy organizational climate can reduce burnout, while Wright and Bonett (1997) established a negative relationship between work performance and emotional exhaustion, leading to an unhealthy working environment. This is manifested in the form of conflict, distress, poor attitudes, low morale, and lack of professionalism (Evans, 1992), lower levels of productivity (Golembiewski et al, 1998), thus increasing employees' propensity to leave (Muhammad and Hamdy, 2005), with subsequent inflated financial costs related to turnover and increased medical coverage (Maslach and Leiter, 1997). The overall effect is to decrease organizational citizenship behavior (Su-Fen and Miao-Ching, 2006) with diminished levels of customer service (Blodgett et al, 1993) and failure to either meet or exceed customer expectations (Singh, 2000).…”

Purpose -The primary purpose of this paper is to investigate the association between leadership styles and burnout among hospitality managers currently working in the industry of Cyprus. Specifically, transformational, transactional and passive/avoidance are to be investigated in order to establish which leadership style is more prone to burnout effects. Design/methodology/approach -Adopting a quantitative approach, the multifactor leadership questionnaire (MLQ 5X-Short) was utilized to allow research participants to describe their leadership style as they perceive it. In addition, the most widely acknowledged tool for measuring burnout, the Maslach burnout inventory (MBI), was also incorporated in the questionnaire, which was then distributed to 500 hospitality managers in Cyprus. A number of hypotheses, reflecting the primary objective of the study, were postulated. Findings -The findings suggest that transformational leadership has a significant positive association with personal accomplishment and is negatively related to emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. In addition a positive relationship exists between passive avoidance leadership and emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Finally, individuals with a passive avoidance leadership style exhibited higher levels of burnout. Research limitations/implications -It is well documented in the literature that surveys measuring sensitive issues, such as leadership styles and burnout levels, have inbuilt limitations. With regards to leadership, the authors acknowledge that they were not able to replicate the original nine-factor solution of the MLQ 5X, therefore, findings should be viewed with caution. The second limitation is the small sample size (n ¼ 131) and the homogeneity of the sample, which limit the generalizability of the findings. Practical implications -The findings have a practical relevance to both hospitality stakeholders and academic scholars who wish to further explore the leadership-burnout association. In addition, human resources practitioners could utilize the findings when developing strategies for recruiting and developing leaders. Originality/value -The paper adds to existing knowledge by investigating an issue presented in just a few hospitality-related studies. While burnout and leadership separately have captured the attention of hospitality researchers, studies investigating their association are ubiquitous by their absence. The insights derived from this paper are of value to academic scholars wishing to build on this exploratory investigation.
