Work stress and turnover intentions among hospital physicians: The mediating role of burnout and work satisfaction

Abstract

a b s t r a c tWork stress has extremely significant consequences to the individual and to the organization (Barling, Kelloway, & Frone, 2005). This study examined the relationship between perceived work stress, burnout, satisfaction at work, and turnover intentions. We hypothesized that a positive relationship would be found between work stress and burnout, and negative relationships would be found between burnout and satisfaction, and between satisfaction and turnover intentions. The sample included 124 hospital physicians. As expected, all our hypotheses were corroborated. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) found that beyond the assumed direct relationships, burnout partially mediated between work stress and work satisfaction, and work satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between burnout and turnover intentions. The paper reviews the theoretical consequences and suggests ideas for future research. © 2015 Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos de Madrid. Published by Elsevier España, S.L.U.

Estrés laboral e intención de abandono en médicos hospitalarios: el papel mediador del agotamiento y la satisfacción laboralPalabras clave: Estrés laboral Agotamiento Satisfacción laboral Intención de abandono Modelo de ecuaciones estructurales Mediación r e s u m e n El estrés laboral tiene consecuencias muy importantes para la persona y para la organización (Barling, Kelloway y Frone, 2005). Este estudio analiza la relación entre estrés laboral percibido, agotamiento (burnout), satisfacción laboral e intención de abandono. Planteamos las hipótesis de que habría una relación positiva entre estrés laboral y agotamiento y negativa entre este último y satisfacción y entre esta y la intención de abandono. La muestra estaba compuesta por 124 médicos de hospital. Según lo esperado, se corroboraron todas las hipótesis. El modelo de ecuaciones estructurales demostró que más allá de las supuestas relaciones directas, el agotamiento mediaba parcialmente entre el estrés laboral y la satisfacción laboral y esta mediaba parcialmente la relación entre agotamiento e intención de abandono. El trabajo revisa las consecuencias teóricas y propone ideas para la futura investigación. © 2015 Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos de Madrid. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U.

Burnout prevalence in New Zealand's public hospital senior medical workforce: a cross-sectional mixed methods study

“…Burnout is of concern for doctors because of the risk it poses to the health of those afflicted7 8 and the loss of highly skilled professionals from the workforce9 10 and also because of known correlations between burnout and reduced quality of care11–13 and the risk of medical errors 1415 Understanding and addressing high levels of burnout in doctors is likely to provide opportunities for improving the well-being of this critical workforce as well as enhancing the quality of patient care.…”

Orvosok kiégettségének összefüggése az egészséggel, életérzéssel, alváskörülményekkel

“…Bebizonyosodott a kiégés és a munkahelyi stressz kö-zötti szoros kapcsolat is, alátámasztva ezzel több kutató eredményét [2,7,10]. Azok a válaszadók, akiknek kiégéspontszáma alacsonyabb, jelentősen jobbnak ítélik meg saját egészségüket, és kortársaikhoz hasonlítva is jobbnak értékelik azt, mint a magas kiégéspontszámmal rendelkezők, akárcsak a korábbi felmérésekben [6,10].…”

“…A sürgősségi ellátásban és a belgyógyásza-ton dolgozók a leginkább érintettek [4], a nemek megoszlását tekintve pedig kifejezetten a nők veszélyeztetet-tek [5]. A burnout szoros összefüggést mutat az egészség rossz megítélésével [6], a munkahelyen megélt stresszel [7], megnöveli a munkahely elhagyásának esélyét [8], rontja a betegekkel való kapcsolat minőségét [9].…”

“…Therefore the versatile tool for processes estimation in dynamics is needed for wide range of applications, especially in psychology and medicine. This is especially relevant for person behavior prediction and timely correction in order to prevent their dissatisfaction and turnover intentions [30]. The urge of cognitive testing tools for aged people with disorders of cognition is discussed in [31].…”
