T
he present study aimed to examine the relationships
between occupational stress, burnout situations as a
psycho-social risk and the subtypes that of the application
job-related affective well-being according to the demographic
factors among public sector employees. In the study, data
were collected by questionnaire method. The research was
conducted on 185 public officials who participated in the
training during the “stress and burnout training” given to the
public sector workers, and the total of 177 questionnaires
was evaluated because 8 of the questionnaires were missing
and incorrectly filled. In this study, a 7-item job stress
scale developed by House and Rizzo (1972) was used to
measure the psychological and psychosomatic symptoms
related to the stresses experienced by public officials in the
workplace. To measure burnout, Maslach Burnout Inventory
developed Maslach and Jackson (1981) were used. The
emotional exhaustion sub-dimension consists of 9 items, the
depersonalization sub-dimension consists of 5 items and the
personal accomplishment sub-dimension consists of a total
of eight items in the Burnout Inventory consisting of 22 items
and three sub-dimensions. To measure Job-related well-being
Job-Related Affective Well-being Scale (JAWS) was used that
has been designed by Katwyk, Fox, Spector, Kelloway (2000).
The main objective of the study was based on the expectancy
that the four subtypes of JAWS would show consistent and
predictable correlations with Stress and Burnout. The average
age of the participants is 36.82±8.36. Data were analyzed
with T-test, Pearson Correlation, and One-Way ANOVA. The
findings of the present study have shown that the meaningful
relationships among job stress, burnout and job well-being.
According to the obtained results, it was understood that the
stress and burnout levels differed according to the gender of
the public servants, the duration of their service, their place
of duty, their administrative relative, education level and their
workings (p<0.05). In addition, when the mean differences
between the scale scores according to gender were examined,
it was seen that there was a significant difference between the
emotional exhaustion from the subscales of the consumption
and the sex.
