Resiliency and Burnout: Protective Factors for Human Service Managers

Abstract

Explores the applicability of previous research on resiliency-enhancing protective factors to the reduction of burnout in human service managers, using 1996 mail questionnaires. Scale data from 101 human service managers in NH indicate statistically significant correlations between lower Maslach Burnout Inventory scores & such protective factors as social support, maintaining one's sense of professional mission, receiving recognition for one's job-related talents & skills, & increasing one's sense of self-efficacy. Implications for managers, agencies, & future research are discussed. 4 Tables, 38 References. Adapted from the source document
