Pracovní engagement v kontextu firemní kultury / Work enagement in the context of the company cultureValuchová, Kateřina January 2021 (has links)
The diploma thesis deals with company culture and work engagement and it aims to explore the relationship between these two concepts in the field of psychology of work and organization. The theoretical part describes in detail the topic of company culture, its relationship with other aspects of the work environment and the possibility of measuring it with a focus on the Competitive Value Model (CVF). The next part presents work engagement, methods of its measurement, connection to work behaviour and other consequences. The empirical part presents quantitative research, in which answers were collected from 126 respondents who came from 10 different companies. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between company culture and engagement at the individual level. The Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) was used to examine company culture, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) was used to obtain information on the level of engagement. The hypotheses verified the existence of a relationship between engagement and individual types of company culture and the difference between the degree of engagement concerning the dominant type of company culture. The results were analyzed by a combination of Multiple factor analysis, Chi-square test and correlations. The results...

Burnout and engagement in a South African university student sample : a psychometric analysis / Carina GauchéGauche, Carina January 2006 (has links)
In recent years, the concept of burnout has been expanded and is currently a concern in all
professions and occupational groups. Nowadays it is widely acknowledged that people in
almost any occupation could develop burnout. To-date, only two studies have examined
students' experiences of burnout. Therefore, research regarding this phenomenon in students
seems warranted. The objective of this study was to firstly investigate the psychometric
properties of adapted versions of the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Utrecht Work
Engagement Scale in a sample of students from a tertiary institution, and secondly to consider
the role of biographical variables in relation to burnout and engagement levels.
A cross-sectional survey design was used to attain the research objectives. For the purposes
of this study, an availability sample of students (N=353) majoring in Organisational
Behaviour was drawn at one point in time. The adapted Maslach Burnout Inventory - Student
Survey (MBI-SS) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale - Student Survey (UWES-S) as
well as a biographical questionnaire were administered.
Structural equation modelling confirmed two-factor models of Burnout (consisting of
Exhaustion and Cynicism) and Engagement (consisting of Vigour and Dedication).
Biographical variables which appear to be predictive of differences in levels of student
burnout are home language, overall health status and consideration given to quitting their
studies, while engagement is related to home language, academic year of study and
consideration given to quitting studies.
Recommendations for future research were also made / Thesis (M.A. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.

Relationship between burnout and work engagement amongst employees within a pharmaceutical distribution industrySonn, Chantel 01 1900 (has links)
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between burnout and work engagement among employees in the pharmaceutical distribution industry. The research conducted on these concepts was geared towards adding to the knowledge base in the field of industrial and organisational psychology, to enable the current organisation from which the sample was chosen and other organisations in South Africa to focus on the effect that burnout has on employees, which directly affects the company. A quantitative survey using primary data was conducted on a convenience sample (N = 204) of full-time employees in a South African pharmaceutical distribution company. The Maslach Burnout Inventory – General Survey model (MBI-GS) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) model were used to gather data.
The work engagement-burnout continuum has received a great deal of research attention (Maslach, Schaufeli, & Leiter, 2001; Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003; Schutte, Toppinen, Kalimo, & Schaufeli, 2000) that has produced contradicting results. One viewpoint regards the core constructs of work engagement and burnout as opposite poles of two continua (vigour-exhaustion and dedication-cynicism), labelled energy and identification, respectively (González-Romá, Schaufeli, Bakker, & Lloret, 2006). Work engagement is ”characterized by a high level of energy and strong identification with one’s work”, while burnout is ”characterized by the opposite: A low level of energy combined with poor identification with one’s work” (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003, p. 5; Bakker, Schaufeli, Leiter, & Taris, 2008). Hence work engagement and burnout can be recognised as inseparable and co-dependent constructs that share more or less 10 to 25% of their variance and are moderately negatively related (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2004; Schaufeli, Salanova, González-Romá, & Bakker, 2002).
The second viewpoint regards work engagement and burnout as being strongly related, but fundamentally different in their separation in the work experience. They are therefore not opposite poles of a continuum (Denton, Newton, & Bower, 2008; Huhtala & Parzefall, 2007; Rothmann & Joubert, 2007; Schaufeli & Bakker, 2004; Schaufeli et al., 2002). Work engagement is defined as a ”positive, fulfilling, work-related state of mind that is characterised by vigour, dedication, and absorption” (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2004, p. 295). Burnout, however, is defined by Maslach and Jackson (1981, p. 99) as a ”syndrome of emotional exhaustion and cynicism that occurs frequently amongst individuals who do ‘people-work’ of some kind”.
The statistical results of this study confirmed the hypothesis. It was found that there is a significant relationship between burnout and work engagement. Burnout is indeed negatively related to work engagement in the contact centre. However, a definitive relationship between burnout and work engagement in the distribution centre was not established. / Industrial & Organisational Psychology / M. Comm. (Industrial Psychology)
