Abstract

The aim of the present study is to reveal the relationships between the burnout levels of the people employed insocial security organization of west department of Mazandaran province (as well as relevant subdimensions such as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment) and their levels of organizational commitment (as well as relevant sub-dimensions such as affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment). The study makes use of the following scales: "Burnout Scale" and "Organizational Commitment Scale". In this context, a brief definition of burnout would be the reaction of the individual against the demands and the stress levels of the workplace, whereas organizational commitment might be defined as the interest and the attachment of the individual towards the organization (as well as a comparative sense of belonging). As a result of the analyses carried out, the Pearson correlation coefficient (a parametric test) has been calculated in order to reveal the relationships between the aforementioned variables. Two sets of relationships between the relevant sub-dimensions have been found to be statistically insignificant: 1) the relationship between the sub-dimensions "reduced personal accomplishment" and "continuance commitment," 2) the relationship between the sub-dimensions "depersonalization" and "normative commitment". Correlation coefficients in all other binary comparisons have been found out to be statistically significant. As a result, it has been demonstrated that there is a significant relationship between burnout and organizational commitment.
