“…Job satisfaction is the opposite dimension of job exhaustion and the researches have shown that there is a strong relation between personality features and job exhaustion. It is reasonable to investigate the relations between personality factors and job satisfaction [10,11]. A part of these features almost traverse a constant process during the lifetime of any individuals and they are less affected by environmental and treatment factors that these features determine basic lines of any individual's personality.…”

“…10 Burnout is defined as a psychological state of mental weariness that often occurs when work stresses become too much for an individual to handle. 5,11 The condition is the combination of 3 distinct dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and decreased personal accomplishment. 12 The burnout model, as described by Maslach and Jackson, 12 illustrates the development of a chronic state of physical and emotional depletion that is accompanied by a reduction in care for clients or patients as well as a negative evaluation of one's worth or accomplishments.…”

Context: Burnout, a psychological state of mental weariness that occurs when work stresses become overwhelming, has frequently been documented in athletic trainers and has been hypothesized to affect professional retention. Experiences of burnout may be influenced by individual-level factors such as gender or personality, though few researchers have investigated such interactions in athletic trainers.Objective: To investigate the relationship between personalities, as measured by the Big Five Personality Inventory, and burnout.Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Online Web-based survey. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 189 athletic trainers working in the collegiate setting, 65 men (34.4%) and 124 women (65.6%), with an average of 5 6 3 years certified and 2.5 6 2 years working in their current position.Main Outcome Measure(s): Data were collected using a Web-based survey instrument consisting of 3 sections: (1) demographics, (2) burnout survey, and (3) Big Five Personality Inventory. Likert responses for the burnout score were summed. Independent t tests, Pearson correlations, and multiple regressions were calculated to evaluate the relationships between demographics and burnout and between burnout and personality.Results: This group of athletic trainers experienced moderate burnout, regardless of gender. A weak negative correlation was present between burnout score and both agreeableness and extraversion. A weak positive correlation existed between burnout and neuroticism. These variables did not predict burnout scores; only neuroticism added significantly to the weak predictive value. Personality explained only 17.3% of the variability in burnout scores.Conclusions: Our study confirms the findings of previous researchers highlighting moderate burnout in athletic trainers employed in the collegiate setting. We did not find that personality significantly predicted burnout, though it did account for a small amount of the variance in burnout scores. Thus, organizational-level factors may play a greater role in determining burnout in athletic trainers than individual-level factors such as personality.Key Words: Big Five Inventory, individual factors, stress Key PointsAthletic trainers in the collegiate setting experienced moderate burnout, most likely due to a blend of organizational and individual factors. Personality as measured by the Big Five Inventory accounted for a small portion of the variance in burnout scores, suggesting that work conditions may play a greater role in burnout. Athletic trainers with higher levels of neuroticism were more susceptible to burnout.

“…Corroborando esse achado, Bakker et al 19 tiveram como resultado em seu estudo que alguns fatores de personalidade moderaram a relação entre o número de experiências negativas e a ocorrência de burnout no trabalho e serviço voluntário, sugerindo que a personalidade pode ajudar a proteger contra riscos conhecidos de desenvolvimento de burnout no trabalho e serviço voluntário. As análises indicaram que a exaustão emocional tem relação direta com a estabilidade emocional (neuroticismo).…”
