          Abstract

          Abstract This study aimed to identify the predictive power of the Work Design (WD) variables on Burnout Syndrome (BS). The sample consisted of 300 professionals, 188 from the field of education and 112 from health care. Two instruments were used in this research, a reduced version of the Work Design Questionnaire (WDQ) and the Brazilian version of the Spanish Burnout Syndrome Inventory (SBI). The results showed that in both professional categories, the factors of work design are predictors of the 4 dimensions of BS, especially factors related to social and task characteristics. In the education field, characteristics of knowledge required by work appear as predictors of only psychological exhaustion; and in health care professionals, as predictors of psychological exhaustion and decreased Enthusiasm towards the job. Implications of these findings will be discussed in terms of their applicability in interventions to prevent BS based on work redesign actions.

          Resumen Este estudio buscó identificar el poder predictivo de las variables de Diseño del Trabajo (DT) en el Síndrome de Burnout (SB). La muestra estuvo conformada por 300 profesionales, siendo 188 del ámbito educativo y 112 del sanitario. Se utilizaron dos instrumentos en esta investigación, una versión reducida del Cuestionario de Diseño del Trabajo (QDT) y la versión brasileña del “Cuestionario para la Evaluación del Síndrome de Quemarse por el Trabajo” (CESQT). Los resultados indicaron que, en ambas categorías profesionales, los factores de diseño del trabajo son predictores de las cuatro dimensiones de la SB, especialmente los factores relacionados con las características sociales y de la tarea. En la educación, las características de los conocimientos requeridos para el trabajo solo aparecen como predictores del desgaste psíquico; y en el campo de la salud, como predictores del desgaste psíquico y de la disminución del entusiasmo por el trabajo. Las implicaciones de estos hallazgos serán discutidas en términos de su aplicabilidad en intervenciones para prevenir la SB a partir de acciones de rediseño del trabajo.

          Understanding the burnout experience: recent research and its implications for psychiatry.

          The experience of burnout has been the focus of much research during the past few decades. Measures have been developed, as have various theoretical models, and research studies from many countries have contributed to a better understanding of the causes and consequences of this occupationally-specific dysphoria. The majority of this work has focused on human service occupations, and particularly health care. Research on the burnout experience for psychiatrists mirrors much of the broader literature, in terms of both sources and outcomes of burnout. But it has also identified some of the unique stressors that mental health professionals face when they are dealing with especially difficult or violent clients. Current issues of particular relevance for psychiatry include the links between burnout and mental illness, the attempts to redefine burnout as simply exhaustion, and the relative dearth of evaluative research on potential interventions to treat and/or prevent burnout. Given that the treatment goal for burnout is usually to enable people to return to their job, and to be successful in their work, psychiatry could make an important contribution by identifying the treatment strategies that would be most effective in achieving that goal.

            The Work Design Questionnaire (WDQ): developing and validating a comprehensive measure for assessing job design and the nature of work.

            Although there are thousands of studies investigating work and job design, existing measures are incomplete. In an effort to address this gap, the authors reviewed the work design literature, identified and integrated previously described work characteristics, and developed a measure to tap those work characteristics. The resultant Work Design Questionnaire (WDQ) was validated with 540 incumbents holding 243 distinct jobs and demonstrated excellent reliability and convergent and discriminant validity. In addition, the authors found that, although both task and knowledge work characteristics predicted satisfaction, only knowledge characteristics were related to training and compensation requirements. Finally, the results showed that social support incrementally predicted satisfaction beyond motivational work characteristics but was not related to increased training and compensation requirements. These results provide new insight into how to avoid the trade-offs commonly observed in work design research. Taken together, the WDQ appears to hold promise as a general measure of work characteristics that can be used by scholars and practitioners to conduct basic research on the nature of work or to design and redesign jobs in organizations.
