| Abstract [eng] |
This study aims to evaluate the relationship between job demands and resources, work – life boundaries, and psychological detachment from work with burnout among youth workers. The study was conducted in 2006 and involved 109 youth workers, including 92 women, 16 men, and one non– binary participant. The average age of the respondents was 35.4 years. The following instruments were used in the study: the short version of the BAT– 12 Burnout Assessment Tool (Schaufeli, 2019), the Job Demands and Resources Questionnaire (Bakker, 2014), the segmentation preferences and supplies questionnaires (Kreiner, 2006), the Work–Nonwork Boundary Control Scale (Kossek et al., 2012), the work–family conflict subscale of the SWING questionnaire (Geurts et al., 2005), and the Psychological Detachment Scale (Sonnentag, 2007). It was found that workload, emotional job demands, and work– family conflict were positively associated with burnout among youth workers. In contrast, support from colleagues and supervisors, segmentation supplies, boundary control, and psychological detachment from work were negatively associated with burnout. The results of the study showed that work–family conflict was the strongest predictor of burnout risk among youth workers. |
