TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the role of three personal resources (selfefficacy, organizational-based self-esteem, and optimism) in the job demands-resources (JD-R) model and found that personal resources did not offset the relationship between job demands and exhaustion.
Abstract: This study examined the role of three personal resources (self-efficacy, organizational-based self-esteem, and optimism) in the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model. The authors hypothesized that personal resources (1) moderate the relationship between job demands and exhaustion, (2) mediate the relationship between job resources and work engagement, and (3) relate to how employees perceive their work environment and well-being. Hypotheses were tested among 714 Dutch employees. Results showed that personal resources did not offset the relationship between job demands and exhaustion. Instead, personal resources mediated the relationship between job resources and engagement/exhaustion and influenced the perception of job resources. The implications of these findings for the JD-R model are discussed.

TL;DR: Results from this prospective randomized controlled pilot study suggest that an 8-week MBSR intervention may be effective for reducing stress and increasing quality of life and self-compassion in health care professionals.
Abstract: The literature is replete with evidence that the stress inherent in health care negatively impacts health care professionals, leading to increased depression, decreased job satisfaction, and psychological distress. In an attempt to address this, the current study examined the effects of a short-term stress management program, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), on health care professionals. Results from this prospective randomized controlled pilot study suggest that an 8-week MBSR intervention may be effective for reducing stress and increasing quality of life and self-compassion in health care professionals. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

TL;DR: The job demands-resources (JD-R) model was tested in a study among 3,092 employees working in 1 of 4 different home care organizations as discussed by the authors, and results showed that job demands are primarily and positively related to the exhaustion component of burnout, whereas job resources are primarily related to cynicism (negatively) and professional efficacy.
Abstract: The job demands-resources (JD-R) model was tested in a study among 3,092 employees working in 1 of 4 different home care organizations. The central assumption in the model is that burnout develops when certain job demands are high and when job resources are limited because such negative working conditions lead to energy depletion and undermine worker motivation and learning opportunities, respectively. A series of multigroup structural equation modeling analyses provide strong evidence for the JD-R model. Specifically, results showed that job demands are primarily and positively related to the exhaustion component of burnout, whereas job resources are primarily related to cynicism (negatively) and professional efficacy (positively). The theoretical and practical implications of the JD-R model are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the construct validity of the MaslachBurnout Inventory (MBI-GS), the most popular measure of burnout, and that of the Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure (SMBM).
Abstract: Arie ShiromTel Aviv UniversitySamuel MelamedTel Aviv University and National Institute of Occupational & EnvironmentalHealthThe authors studied certain aspects of the construct validity of the MaslachBurnout InventoryGeneral Survey (MBI-GS), the most popular measure ofburnout, and that of the Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure (SMBM). Theseburnout measures were compared with respect to their psychometric char-acteristics and factorial validity in two groups of professionals, humanservice and other professionals (N 196 and 226, respectively), whocompleted questionnaires at work. As hypothesized, the con rmatory factoranalyses supported a two-factor and a three-factor structure invarianceacross the two groups considered for the SMBM and the MBI-GS, respec-tively, with superior t found for the SMBM.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3-factor structure of job and home demands was hypothesized, consisting of quantitativedemands, emotional demands, and mental demands and empirical support was found for the 3 factor structure as well as for the partial mediating effects of both WHI and HWI on burnout.
Abstract: Utrecht UniversityThe aim of the present study was to make a clear distinction between workand home domains in the explanation of burnout. First, a 3-factor structureof job and home demands was hypothesized, consisting of quantitativedemands, emotional demands, and mental demands. Next, a model was testedthat delineates how demands in both life domains are related to occupationalburnout through work home interference (WHI) and home work interfer-ence (HWI). In doing so, the partial mediating role of WHI and HWI wasexamined. Consistent with hypotheses, empirical support was found for the3-factor structure of both job and home demands as well as for the partialmediating effects of both WHI and HWI. Job demands and home demandsappeared to have a direct and indirect effect (through WHI and HWI,respectively) on burnout.
