| Tiivistelmä: | The study tested three contrasting theories about the sequential process of the three dimensions of burnout (i.e., exhaustion, cynicism and professional efficacy) as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory - General survey (MBI-GS). The causal order of the burnout components was investigated by including job stressors as antecedents of burn out in structural equation models (LISREL). The predictive effect of exhaustion on burnout dimensions eight years later was also investigated. The longitudinal models were then tested in two occupational subgroups. The participants were 713 Finnish employees (415 white-collar and 298 blue-collar workers) from an international industry enterprise. The best fitting model of the associations between the three burnout dimensions was obtained by a path model where exhaustion predicted cynicism, and cynicism in turn predicted lack of professional efficacy. There were no differences between the two occupational groups in the process of burnout. Also the work-related antecedents of burnout (job stressors) were very similar in both groups. |
