Despite mounting evidence on the association between work stress and burnout, there is limited knowledge about the extent to which workers' age and gender are associated with burnout.
To evaluate the relationship between age, gender and their interaction with burnout in a sample of Canadian workers.
Data were collected in 2009-12 from a sample of 2073 Canadian workers from 63 workplaces in the province of Quebec. Data were analysed with multilevel regression models to test for linear and non-linear relationships between age and burnout. Analyses adjusted for marital status, parental status, educational level and number of working hours were conducted on the total sample and stratified by gender.
Data were collected from a sample of 2073 Canadian workers (response rate 73%). Age followed a non-linear relationship with emotional exhaustion and total burnout, while it was linearly related to cynicism and reduced professional efficacy. Burnout level reduced with increasing age in men, but the association was bimodal in women, with women aged between 20-35 and over 55 years showing the highest burnout level.
These results suggest that burnout symptoms varied greatly according to different life stages of working men and women. Younger men, and women aged between 20-35 and 55 years and over are particularly susceptible and should be targeted for programmes to reduce risk of burnout.
尽管越来越多的证据表明工作压力与倦怠之间存在关联，但对于工人的年龄和性别与倦怠之间的关联程度，我们的了解有限。
评估加拿大工人样本中年龄、性别及其与倦怠的相互作用之间的关系。
2009 年至 2012 年期间，从魁北克省 63 个工作场所的 2073 名加拿大工人中收集了数据。使用多层次回归模型分析数据，以测试年龄与倦怠之间的线性和非线性关系。对总样本进行了调整婚姻状况、父母状况、教育水平和工作时间的分析，并按性别进行了分层。
从 2073 名加拿大工人（应答率 73%）的样本中收集了数据。年龄与情绪衰竭和总倦怠呈非线性关系，而与玩世不恭和专业效能降低呈线性关系。男性的倦怠水平随着年龄的增长而降低，但女性的关联呈双峰模式，20-35 岁和 55 岁以上的女性倦怠水平最高。
这些结果表明，倦怠症状根据男女不同的工作生活阶段而有很大差异。年轻男性以及 20-35 岁和 55 岁以上的女性尤其容易受到影响，应针对这些人群制定计划以降低倦怠风险。
