Abstract

Burnout is described as emotional stress that can be related to work or interpersonal connections. This phenomenon is determined by three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment which can be measured through the Maslach Burnout Inventory Educators Survey (MBI-ES). The instrument utilizes a Likert scale response of 0 to 6 to measure the occurrence of each dimension (0-Never, 1 - A Few Times per Year, 2- Once a Month, 3 - A Few Times per Month, 4 - Once a Week, 5 - A Few Times per Week, and 6 - Every Day). The Areas of Worklife (AW) model on the other hand states that burnout can be influenced by six key factors: workload, control, reward, community, fairness, and values. A cross-sectional design was employed on 150 faculty members, representative of the faculty members from 23 departments in the DLSMHSI College of Medicine. The data was obtained through printed questionnaires and four (4) weeks was allotted for the data gathering. Based on the results, Workload is the most significant factor associated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization with a p-values of < 0.001 and < 0.01 respectively. Furthermore, AWS: Values (p< 0.001) has a statistically significant positive impact on personal accomplishments. Overall, it was found that more manageable workloads decrease feelings of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Additionally, more congruent values are related to higher personal accomplishments. Among the demographic factors, marital status is significantly related to experiencing less emotional exhaustion, while increasing age displayed lower levels of depersonalization and more personal accomplishments.
