Both work stress and poor recovery have been shown to contribute to the development of burnout. However, the role of recovery as a mediating mechanism that links work stress to burnout has not been sufficiently addressed in research.
To examine recovery as a mediator in the relationship between work stress and burnout among teachers.
A cross-sectional study of Finnish primary school teachers, in whom burnout was measured with the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey and work stress was conceptualized using the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model. Recovery was measured with the Recovery Experience Questionnaire and the Jenkins Sleep Problems Scale. Multiple linear regression analyses and bootstrap mediation analyses adjusted for age, gender and total working hours were performed.
Among the 76 study subjects, high ERI was associated with burnout and its dimensions of exhaustion, cynicism and reduced professional efficacy. Poor recovery experiences, in terms of low relaxation during leisure time, partially mediated the relationship between ERI and reduced professional efficacy. Sleep problems, in the form of non-restorative sleep, partially mediated the relationship between ERI and both burnout and exhaustion.
Supporting a balance between effort and reward at work may enhance leisure time recovery and improve sleep quality, as well as help to reduce burnout rates.
工作压力和恢复不佳都被证明会导致倦怠的发展。然而，在研究中，恢复作为一种将工作压力与倦怠联系起来的中介机制的作用尚未得到充分解决。
检验恢复在教师工作压力与倦怠之间的关系中作为中介的作用。
对芬兰小学教师进行横断面研究，使用 Maslach 倦怠量表-一般调查评估倦怠，使用努力-回报失衡（ERI）模型概念化工作压力。使用恢复体验问卷和 Jenkins 睡眠问题量表测量恢复。进行了多元线性回归分析和 bootstrap 中介分析，调整了年龄、性别和总工作时间。
在 76 名研究对象中，高 ERI 与倦怠及其疲惫、玩世不恭和专业效能降低的维度有关。在休闲时间缺乏放松方面，恢复体验不佳部分中介了 ERI 与专业效能降低之间的关系。以非恢复性睡眠形式出现的睡眠问题部分中介了 ERI 与倦怠和疲惫之间的关系。
支持工作中的努力与回报之间的平衡可能会增强休闲时间的恢复和提高睡眠质量，从而有助于降低倦怠率。
