The legal profession is subject to many stereotypes, and it is difficult to find figures in France on the reality of the psychological difficulties in this profession. Burnout is especially a significant problem among these professionals. Practicing as a lawyer may involve high levels of stress and burnout. This study aimed at testing how exhaustion was influenced by workload, latitude and engagement. A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 181 French lawyers. Based on the results, the level of burnout among lawyers decreased with decision latitude but increased with workload. Mediation analyses showed that work engagement and over-engagement had a total mediating role between latitude and burnout. Over-engagement played a partial mediating role between workload and burnout. Several practical implications were developed from these results.
法律行业存在许多刻板印象,在法国很难找到有关该行业心理困境实际情况的数据。职业倦怠在这些专业人士中尤其严重。从事律师工作可能会带来高度的压力和职业倦怠。本研究旨在测试倦怠如何受到工作量、自主性和投入度的影响。181名法国律师完成了一份自填式问卷。根据结果,律师的倦怠程度随决策自主性降低而降低,但随工作量增加而增加。中介分析表明,工作投入和过度投入在自主性和倦怠之间起完全中介作用。过度投入在工作量和倦怠之间起部分中介作用。从这些结果中得出了一些实际意义。
