Fear of future violence at work and job burnout: A diary study on the role of psychological violence and job control
Conclusions Our findings provided additional evidence that not only being the target of violent behaviors may take an emotional toll. When a worker experiences fear of future violent events at work, he\she tends to experience stronger levels of emotional exhaustion and cynicism. Job control plays a fundamental role, buffering the way that a person perceives workplace conditions and the choice of coping strategy. (Source: Burnout Research)

Four profiles were identified: Engaged (44%), engaged-exhausted (30%) inefficacious (19%) and burned-out (7%).

Burnout risk profiles among French psychologists
Publication date: December 2017 Source:Burnout Research, Volume 7 Author(s): Sophie Berjot, Emin Altintas, Elisabeth Grebot, François-Xavier Lesage The aims of this study were 1) to show that the use of different cut-off scores available in the literature can lead to erroneous conclusions, adding to the emerging literature highlighting the problems associated with its use, and 2) to propose an alternative technique − Cluster Analysis − to assess the risk of burnout as well as to identify profiles at risk of burnout. Burnout was measured among 664 French psychologists using the French-Canadian version of the Masl...

Narratives of Burnout and Recovery from an Agency Perspective: A Two-Year Longitudinal Study
Conclusions Burnout and recovery are not the consequence of work-related or individual-related factors alone, but rather the outcome of a combination of these. Regardless of common factors, the process and the degree of recovery may vary. The most beneficial path was observed when personal agency was high and was reinforced by a supportive job environment and favourable personal factors. (Source: Burnout Research)

Examining the Relationship between Burnout and Empathy in Healthcare Professionals: A Systematic Review
Conclusions There was consistent evidence for a negative association between burnout and empathy. This review avoided a common English-speaking country bias of some areas of the literature. Given that all of the studies reviewed were cross sectional, further research is necessary to establish causality. (Source: Burnout Research)

Burnout and engagement: Identical twins or just close relatives?
Publication date: Available online 8 May 2017 Source:Burnout Research Author(s): Toon W. Taris, Jan Fekke Ybema, Ilona van Beek Past research has frequently cast doubts on the theoretical and empirical distinction between the concepts of work engagement and burnout. Drawing on cross-sectional survey data from 1,535 Dutch police officers, the current study examined (a) the associations among the two core dimensions of burnout (i.e. exhaustion and cynicism) and work engagement (vigour and dedication); and (b) the concurrent and discriminant validity of these dimensions by relating these four dimensions to various import...

Work engagement or burnout: which comes first? A meta-analysis of longitudinal evidence
Publication date: Available online 6 May 2017 Source:Burnout Research Author(s): Laurențiu P. Maricuțoiu, Coralia Sulea, Alina Iancu Currently, burnout (BU) and work engagement (WE) and are considered different forms of workplace well-being, negatively related that might even co-occur, or as direct opposites and mutually exclusive. These contrasting views generate difficulties regarding the true nature of the relationship between the two concepts. In the present paper, we aim at clarifying this issue by testing the cross-lagged effects between BU and WE. We conducted systematic database searches using keywords relev...

Not if, but how they differ: a meta-analytic test of the nomological networks of burnout and engagement
We report the findings as a distribution of effect size estimates—each estimate in the distribution representing the true effect size for a potential subpopulation—around the mean average estimate for each relationship in the model. Based on the findings, we conclude that overall burnout and engagement display empirically distinct relationships within the JD-R model (i.e., they are not antipodal), particularly in terms of antecedents. Perhaps most interestingly, rather than a polar opposite pattern of relationships, challenge demands have a similarly positive relationship to both burnout (ß =.35, SD=.10) and engagemen...

The Energy and Identification Continua of Burnout and Work Engagement: Developmental Profiles Over Eight Years
This study sought to identify subgroups of employees characterized by long-term exhaustion-vigor (energy continuum) and cynicism-dedication (identification continuum). A further important aim was to investigate differences between the identified subgroups in their experiences of progress in their personal work goals. Five-wave, eight-year follow-up data among Finnish white-collar professionals (n =168) were studied using Latent Profile Analysis (LPA). The analysis yielded three exhaustion-vigor subgroups: 1) “Low stable exhaustion – high stable vigor” (n =141), 2) “Fluctuating exhaustion and vigor” (n =19), and 3...
