We tested the effects of Neuroticism and Conscientiousness on burnout across time, controlling for age, gender, work hours, and depressive symptoms. Our theoretical model included both global burnout and its physical, emotional, and cognitive facets, consistent with the bifactor approach to modeling second-order constructs in structural equation modeling. Data were gathered from 1,105 respondents (63% men) who completed questionnaires at Time 1 (T1) and approximately 24 months later at Time 2 (T2). Neuroticism positively predicted T1 global burnout and negatively predicted T1 and T2 emotional exhaustion. Conscientiousness negatively predicted T1 global burnout and T1 and T2 cognitive weariness, and positively predicted T1 and T2 emotional exhaustion. Our gender-specific exploratory analysis revealed that for each gender, Neuroticism and Conscientiousness predicted different facets of burnout at T1 and T2. We recommend that future research test the possibility that the associations of Neuroticism and Conscientiousness with global burnout and its facets may be gender specific.
我们考察了神经质和尽责性在跨时间上对倦怠的影响,同时控制了年龄、性别、工作时间和抑郁症状。我们的理论模型包括整体倦怠及其身体、情感和认知方面,与结构方程建模中二阶结构的双因素方法一致。数据来自于 1105 名受访者(63%为男性),他们在 T1(第 1 次)和大约 24 个月后(T2)第 2 次完成了问卷调查。神经质正向预测 T1 整体倦怠,负向预测 T1 和 T2 情绪枯竭。尽责性负向预测 T1 整体倦怠和 T1 及 T2 认知疲劳,正向预测 T1 和 T2 情绪耗竭。我们的性别特异性探索性分析表明,对于每种性别,神经质和尽责性都可以预测 T1 和 T2 时倦怠的不同方面。我们建议未来的研究检验神经质和尽责性与整体倦怠及其各方面之间的关联是否具有性别特异性的可能性。
