How Job-Related is Burnout?

Abstract

Utbrenthet er tradisjonelt forstått som et syndrom forårsaket av arbeidsrelaterte faktorer. Denne tverrsnittstudien undersøkte dette ved å inkludere både arbeidsrelaterte og ikke-arbeidsrelaterte variabler. Ikke-spesifikke psykiske plager (NSPD) og generalisert angstlidelse (GAD) ble inkludert som tilleggsmål for å kunne gjøre sammenligninger med utbrenthet. En digital spørreundersøkelse ble gjennomført, hvor BAT-12, K6 og GAD-7 ble brukt for å måle utbrenthet, NSPD og GAD. Utvalget (N = 541) ble rekruttert gjennom bekvemmelighets- og snøballutvalg. Arbeidsattribusjoner og sammenhenger mellom utbrenthet, NSPD og GAD og en rekke arbeidsrelaterte og ikke-arbeidsrelaterte variabler ble analysert ved hjelp av frekvens-, korrelasjons- og multippel regresjonsanalyser. Resultatene viste at majoriteten (41,3 %) av deltakerne som rapporterte utbrenthetssymptomer ikke tilskrev dem til arbeid. Tilsvarende gjaldt for deltakere med symptomer på NSPD (50,1 %) og GAD (56,2 %), som heller ikke betraktet arbeid som hovedårsaken. Alle arbeidsrelaterte variabler var signifikant assosiert med de tre hovedmålene, men utbrenthet viste sterkere korrelasjoner og prediktorer sammenlignet med NSPD og GAD. Når det gjaldt ikke-arbeidsrelaterte variabler, viste NSPD og GAD sterkere sammenhenger enn utbrenthet. Likevel viste utbrenthet også signifikante sammenhenger med ikke-arbeidsrelaterte variabler, som blant annet nevrotisisme og helserelatert stress. Disse funnene tyder på at utbrenthet bør forstås innenfor en bredere teoretisk ramme som integrerer både arbeidsrelaterte og ikke-arbeidsrelaterte belastninger. Nøkkelord: Utbrenthet, Ikke-spesifikke psykologiske plager, Generalisert angstlidelse, Arbeid, Belastninger

Burnout is traditionally conceptualized as a syndrome caused by work-related factors. The present cross-sectional study examined this assumption by assessing both work-related and non-work-related variables. Non-specific psychological distress (NSPD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) were included as additional main measures, allowing for comparison with burnout. An online survey was conducted using the BAT-12, K6, and GAD-7 to measure burnout, NSPD, and GAD, respectively. The study sample (N = 541) was recruited through convenience and snowball sampling. Causal attributions to work and associations between burnout, NSPD, and GAD and a set of work-related and non-work-related variables were examined using frequency, correlation, and multiple regression analyses. Results showed that the majority (41.3%) of participants who reported burnout symptoms did not attribute them to work. Similarly, most participants who reported symptoms of NSPD (50.1%) and GAD (56.2%) did not perceive work as the main cause. All work-related variables were significantly associated with the three main measures, but burnout showed both stronger correlations and predictors compared to NSPD and GAD. Regarding non-work-related variables, NSPD and GAD showed stronger associations than burnout. However, burnout also showed significant associations with non-work-related variables, such as neuroticism and health-related stress. These findings suggest that burnout should be understood within a broader theoretical framework, integrating stressors from both occupational and non-occupational domains. Keywords: Burnout, Non-Specific Psychological Distress, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Occupation, Stressors
