OBJECTIVES
Over the last 20 years, tertiary institutions have been subjected to several changes. This has resulted in increased workloads for academics. Some academics have started to experience symptoms that are related to chronic fatigue syndrome and burnout. Researchers, however, cannot agree whether the 2 syndromes are two sides of the same coin or actually 2 separate constructs. This study that was conducted at a tertiary institution in South Africa therefore aimed to determine if these constructs accounted for the evidence of the same syndrome within an academic setting or if they were 2 separate, distinguishable constructs. However, since job satisfaction and social support play a role in the poor physical and psychological health experienced by individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome or burnout, it was decided to also include these 2 constructs into the investigation. Age was also incorporated because it had dissimilar relationships with burnout and chronic fatigue syndrome.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The participants completed the following questionnaires via an online survey: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Symptom Inventory, the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, the Overall Job Satisfaction Scale and the Social Support Scale. The data was used for constructing a structural equation model.
RESULTS
Job satisfaction was found to be a strong predictor of burnout. The number of symptoms indicative of chronic fatigue syndrome reported by the participants proved to be a relatively strong significant predictor of burnout. Age did not yield any significant relationship with any of the constructs.
CONCLUSIONS
The results indicated that chronic fatigue and burnout should be perceived as 2 distinguishable constructs in the academic context. It should be noted, however, that some overlap exists between them. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2019;32(1):75 – 85
目的
在过去20年里，高等院校经历了诸多变革。这导致学者的工作量增加。一些学者开始出现与慢性疲劳综合征和职业倦怠相关的症状。然而，研究人员对于这两种综合征是同一硬币的两面还是实际上两个不同的概念存在分歧。因此，这项在南非一所高等院校开展的研究旨在确定这些概念在学术环境中是否解释了同一综合征的证据，或者它们是否是两个不同的、可区分的概念。然而，由于工作满意度和社会支持在慢性疲劳综合征或职业倦怠患者所经历的不良身心健康中起作用，所以决定将这两个概念也纳入调查。年龄也被纳入，因为它与职业倦怠和慢性疲劳综合征的关系不同。
材料与方法
参与者通过在线调查完成以下问卷：美国疾病控制与预防中心慢性疲劳综合征症状量表、奥尔登堡职业倦怠量表、总体工作满意度量表和社会支持量表。这些数据用于构建结构方程模型。
结果
发现工作满意度是职业倦怠的一个强有力的预测指标。参与者报告的表明慢性疲劳综合征的症状数量被证明是职业倦怠的一个相对较强的显著预测指标。年龄与任何一个概念均无显著关系。
结论
结果表明，在学术背景下，慢性疲劳和职业倦怠应被视为两个可区分的概念。然而，应该注意的是，它们之间存在一些重叠。《国际职业医学与环境卫生杂志》。2019年；32(1)：75 – 85
