Value Congruence, Control, Sense of Community and Demands as Determinants of Burnout Syndrome among Hospitality Workers. Int J Occup Saf Ergon. 2017 Aug 16;:1-32 Authors: Asensio-Martínez Á, Leiter MP, Gascón S, Gumuchian S, Masluk B, Herrera-Mercadal P, Albesa A, García-Campayo J Abstract Employees working in the hospitality industry are constantly exposed to occupational stressors that may lead employees into experiencing the burnout syndrome. Research addressing the interactive effects of control, community and value congruence, to alleviate the impact of workplace demands on experiencing burnout is relatively limited. The present study examined relationships among control, community and value congruence, and workplace demands and the three components of burnout. A sample of 418 employees working in a variety of hospitality associations including restaurants and hotels in Spain were recruited. Moderation analyses and linear regressions analyzed the predictive power of control, community, and value congruence as moderating variables. Results indicate that control, community and value congruence were successful buffers in the relationships between workplace demands and the burnout dimensions. The present findings offer suggestions for future research on potential moderating variables, as well as implications for reducing burnout among hospitality employees.
