| Abstract: | This study focuses on burnout (hereafter as: b-o.) and its positive antipode - engagement (here as: engag). A model is tested in which b-o. and engag. have different predictors and different possible consequences. Structural equation modeling is used to simultaneously analyze data from four independent occupational samples (total N = 1698). Results confirm the hypothesized model indicating that: 1. b-o. and engag. are negatively related, sharing from 10 to 25 per cent of their variances, 2. b-o. is mainly predicted by job demands but also by lack of job resources, whereas engag. is exclusively predicted by available job resources, 3. b-o. is related to health problems as well as to turnover intention, whereas engag. is related only to the latter, and 4. b-o. mediates the relationship btw. job demands and health problems, whereas engag. mediates the relationship btw. job resources and turnover intention. The fact that b-o. and engag. exhibit different patterns of possible causes and consequences implies that different intervention strategies should be used. |
