Relationships between individual-level factors and burnout: A meta-analysis of Chinese participants

The Big Five Personality Traits and French Firefighter Burnout

“…The finding that neuroticism was directly and positively associated with the three dimensions of burnout is consistent with previous studies and provides support for the assumption that it is a strong predictor of burnout. [17][18][19]38 An original finding of the present study is that neuroticism was also indirectly associated with burnout through MAv goals. These results are partly in accordance with those of McCabe et al, 30 who also reported a positive relationship between neuroticism and MAv goals in students, but did not measure burnout.…”

“…These results are inconsistent with the literature. 19 The discrepant findings in the literature regarding the direct or indirect associations between the Big Five personality traits and burnout might be due to the type of burnout measure that was used (Malasch Burnout Inventory vs SMBM 34 ) and/or the specificity of the professional context. This study has several methodological limitations regarding the results.…”

“…Specifically, we tested the following hypotheses. First, given that neuroticism is positively associated with MAv goals 30 and burnout, [17][18][19] we predicted that neurotiscim would be positively related to burnout, both directly and through MAv goals. Second, because openness to experience is negatively related to emotional exhaustion and depersonalization 18 and positively to learning goal orientation, 29 we predicted that openness would be negatively related to burnout, both directly and through MAp goals.…”

“…Third, conscientiousness was shown to be positively associated with MAp goals 30 and negatively related to burnout. 17,19 Hence, we assumed that conscientiousness would be negatively associated with burnout both directly and via MAp goals. Fourth, extraversion was found to be positively related to MAp goals 30 and negatively to burnout.…”
