The interaction of self-efficacy and demographic characteristics in occupational burnout
(на англ. яз.)
Abstract
Occupational burnout is a pervasive issue impacting professionals, with self-efficacy, demographic factors, and job fit playing key roles in shaping individuals’ burnout experiences. Purpose. This research investigates the interplay of self-efficacy, and demographic factors in shaping burnout experiences. Study design. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 327 workers working in Vietnam. Findings. ANOVA results highlighted gender differences that males exhibited higher self-efficacy and lower burnout than females. Participants with over 10 years of work reported the lowest burnout and highest self-efficacy. Those working with humans and ideas faced lower self-efficacy and higher burnout. The interaction among self-efficacy, gender, work experience, and work domain significantly associated with occupational burnout. Implications for practice. Our results suggest that interventions aiming to enhance self-efficacy, address gender-specific patterns, and consider individual differences in years of work to decrease burnout in the workplace may be effective.
