Denna studie har för avsikt att förklara sambandet hos individer mellan The Big Five’s personlighetsteori, motivation, prestation och välmåendet med Maslach Burnout Inventory’s teori. Studiens teoretiska del utgår från The Big Five’s personlighetsdimensioner och hur dessa är sammankopplade till prestation och utmattning. Det ligger även fokus på Maslach Burnout Inventory och utmattningens olika delar. Den sista delen av teorin går djupare på motivation och prestation. Studien har en utgångspunkt i ett deduktivt förhållningssättutgår och utgår från en kvantitativ metod. Via en enkätundersökning som skickades till 172 träningsinstruktörer kunde datan inhämtas. Vidare processades datan i statistik- och analysprogrammet Jamovi där det gjordes en deskriptiv analys, korrelationsanalys och en faktoranalys. Resultatet visar att det finns en viss typ av personlighet som väljer att arbeta som träningsintruktör vilken är samvetsgrann, öppen, vänlig med en låg poäng på neurotism vilket indikerar på stabilitet och trygghet. I resultatet kan det även utläsas att träningsintrukörer drivs av inre motivationsfaktorer i större grad jämfört med de yttre. Sist visar resultatet på att träningsinstrukörer inte är utmattade i någon större omfattning. Uppsatsen ska ge en djupare förståelse av träningsinstruktörers specifika personlighet och om det finns tydliga motivationsfaktorer som gör att individerna presterar bättre. I och med individens personlighet undersöks om utmattning existerar. Studien ska öka förståelsen för hur en viss yrkesgrupp av presterar och hittar drivkrafter utifrån sin unika personlighet. Då studien är fokuserad på personlighet, motivation, prestation och välmåendet bland träningsintruktörer skulle det vara intressant att undersöka andra yrkesgrupper för att se om träningsintruktörer skiljer sig i jämförelse med andra på personlighetsdrag eller motivation. Det skulle även vara intressant att fortsätta denna studie med att se om skillnader finns via en geografisk avgränsning i landet. / This study aims to explain the connection between individuals between The Big Five's personality theory, motivation and health to Maslach Burnout Inventory's theory. The study is based on a deductive approach and is based on a quantitative method. Through a survey that was sent to 172 training instructors, the data was obtained. Furthermore, the data was processed in the statistical and analysis program Jamovi where a descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and factor analysis were made. The result shows that there is a certain type of personality who chooses to work as a training instructor who is conscientious, open, friendly with a low score on neuroticism, which indicates stability and security. In the result, it can also be seen that training instructors are driven by internal motivation factors to a greater extent compared to the external ones. Last, the results show that training instructors are not exhausted to any great extent. The thesis should provide a deeper understanding of the specific personality of exercise instructors and whether there are clear motivational factors that make individuals perform better. The individual's personality is investigated as to whether fatigue exists. The study will increase the understanding of how a certain professional group of performs and finds drivers based on their unique personality. Since the study is focused on personality, motivation, performance and well-being among training instructors, it would be interesting to examine other professional groups to see if training instructors differ in comparison to others, on personality traits or motivation. It would also be interesting to continue this study to see if differences exist via geographical demarcation in the country.

Abstract   Title: The nonprofit leader   Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degrees in Business Administration   Author: Felicia Jingmyr Steiner and Rebecca Gullersbo   Supervisor: Jonas Kågström   Date: May 2020   Aim: The purpose is to highlight the connection between Big Five´s different personality traits, the dimension according the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the underlying motivational factors within Swedish sport associations and their non-profit leaders.   Method: The study uses a quantitive method with a deductive approach. The method involved a survey in which 380 leaders in Swedish sports associations were assigned the questionnaire. The empirical data was then processed in the analysis and statistics program Jamovi through a descriptive-, correlation- and factor analysis.   Result and analysis: The result of the study showed that leaders with high levels of neuroticism have the biggest risk of burnout. A big part of the study group had high values of conscientiousness and extraversion built in to perform their leadership and involvement tasks well with high efficiency. The result showed that the leaders have a number of underlying motivational factors and not only one. The biggest motivating factor in the leaders who participated in this study was to help other people and the least motivated factor was the monetary reward.   Contribution of the thesis: The study makes the most knowledge and an increased understanding of the interaction between different personality traits with other factors such as burnout and underlying motivational factors. The survey´s selection of leaders within Swedish sport associations provides a practical contribution in the form of knowledge about the leaders themselves and how they should work with them to keep the involvement going.   Suggestions for further research: Upon completion of the study, further research of the sports associations´ leaders and their assignments can a connection between personality traits with other factors such as burnout and underlying motivational factors be found. An interesting angle of this type of research would be relevant is to see how the leader´s actual mission affects its sense of purpose. Further research in sport leaders and their non-profit involvement could do more in-depth by looking at their team/athletes´ demographic variables and strengths to see if the motivational factors are being eradicated because of these.   Keywords: “The Big Five”, “Maslach Burnout Inventory”, burnout, personality trait, volunteer, voluntary work, “Volunteer Function Inventory”, coach, sport

Background: Concerns about burnout, and its consequences, among German physicians are rising. However, data on burnout among German physicians are scarce. Also, a suspected association between burnout and German physicians’ wishes to leave remains to be studied. Therefore, the extent of burnout, and the association between burnout and wishes to leave clinical practice or to go abroad for clinical work was studied in a sample of young physicians in Saxony. Methods: In a cross-sectional survey, all physicians ≤40 years and registered with the State Chamber of Physicians of Saxony, Germany (n = 5956) received a paper-pencil questionnaire inquiring about socio-demographics, job satisfaction, and wishes to leave clinical practice or to go abroad for clinical work. Response rate was 40 % (n = 2357). Burnout was measured with the German version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory - Human Services Survey (MBI) consisting of the subscales emotional exhaustion (feeling emotionally drained), depersonalization (feelings of cynicsm) and personal accomplishment (feelings of personal achievement in job). Variables associated with burnout, and the association between burnout and wishes to leave were assessed in multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: For emotional exhaustion participants reached a mean of 21.3 [standard deviation = 9.74], for depersonalization a mean of 9.9 [5.92], and for personal accomplishment a mean of 36.3 [6.77]. Men exhibited significantly higher depersonalization than women (11.3 [6.11] versus 9 [5.62], p < 0.001). Eleven percent of participants showed a high degree of burnout on all subscales, while 35 % did not show a high degree of burnout on any subscale. Confirming that one would become a physician again, and higher satisfaction with the components \"work environment\" and \"humaneness\", were associated with a lower chance for a high degree of burnout on all subscales. Higher emotional exhaustion and lower personal accomplishment were associated with an increased chance of wishing to leave clinical practice. Higher emotional exhaustion and higher depersonalization were associated with an increased chance of wishing to go abroad for clinical work. Conclusions: Preventing physician burnout may not only benefit the affected individual. It may also benefit the health care system by potentially preventing physicians from leaving clinical practice or from going abroad for clinical work.

Sammanfattning Titel: “Personlighetsegenskaper och dess koppling till utbrändhet” Nivå: Examensarbete på Grundnivå (kandidatexamen) i företagsekonomi C Författare: Hampus Häggström och Cornelia Wiklund Handledare: Dr. Jonas Kågström och biträdande handledare Martin Ahlenius Datum: Juni 2022 Syfte: Syftet med denna undersökning är att kartlägga och analysera utbrändhet hos fastighetsmäklare genom Maslach burnout inventory utifrån Big fives personlighetsegenskaper. Metod: Denna studie är utformad ur en kvantitativ metod med ett deduktivt synsätt. Datainsamlingen utgick från en webbaserad enkätundersökning som skickades ut till 3126 verksamma fastighetsmäklare i Europa. Analysen av datan utfördes i statistikprogrammet “JASP”, där primärt bivariata korrelationsanalyser utfördes för att finna signifikanta samband mellan de olika variablerna. Denna information kunde sedan användas för att redovisa och tolka resultatet. Resultat &amp; slutsats: Utifrån den analyserade datan visade undersökningen att fastighetsmäklarnas personlighetsegenskaper påverkade individens nivå av utbrändhet. Det anträffade positiva signifikanta samband mellan egenskapen neuroticism och utbrändhet. Personlighetsegenskaperna extraversion och conscientiousness visade däremot negativa samband med utbrändhetssyndromen. Undersökningen visade dessutom att det inte endast var personlighetsegenskaperna som påverkade välmående. Trivseln på arbetsplatsen hade även det en stor betydelse för den enskilde individens välmående. Examensarbetets bidrag: Denna studie bidrar teoretiskt med en klarare uppfattning kring utbrändhetsdimensionerna utifrån personlighetsegenskaperna inom Big five. Likaså sambandet till välmående, arbetstillfredsställelse och individens tanke om att lämna arbetsplatsen. Detta praktiska bidrag kan hjälpa individen att förstå dess sårbarhet och utmaningar för att i praktiken kunna förebygga utbrändhetssyndrom. Det hjälper dessutom chefer och ledare som bedriver fastighetsmäklarkontor i Europa att få en inblick i vilka anställda som föreligger större risk att utsättas för utbrändhetssyndrom samt är i behov av extra stöttning. Cheferna och ledarna kan därmed anpassa arbetsmiljön och förhållandena efter individens behov för att bidra till ett bättre välmående på arbetsplatsen och minska personalomsättningen. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Denna studies population omfattar fastighetsmäklare i Europa. Ett intressant bidrag till forskningen hade varit att undersöka andra specifika demografiska områden för att sedan jämföra dessa mot varandra för att se om arbetssättet i de olika områdena skulle vara bättre eller sämre ur ett utbrändhetsperspektiv. / Title: “Personality traits and its connection to burnout” Level: Student thesis, final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Authors: Hampus Häggström and Cornelia Wiklund Supervisors: Dr. Jonas Kågström and assistant Martin Ahlenius Date: June 2022 Aim: The purpose of this study is to map and analyze burnout among real estate agents through Maslach burnout inventory based on Big fives personality traits. Method: This study is designed from a quantitative method with a deductive approach. The data collection is based on a web-based survey that was sent out to 3126 active real estate agents in Europe. The analysis of the data was performed in a statistics program named “JASP”, where primarily bivariate correlation analysis was performed to find significant correlations between the various variables. This information could then be used to report and interpret the results. Result &amp; Conclusion: Based on the analyzed data, the study showed that the real estate agents personality traits affected how exposed the individual was to burnout. There were strongly positive significant associations between the trait neuroticism and burnout, while the personality traits extraversion and conscientiousness showed negative associations with burnout syndrome. The study also showed that it was not only the personality traits that affected the well-being of the individual. The comfort of the workplace, however, also has agreat importance for well-being. Contribution of the thesis: This study theoretically contributes with a clearer understanding of the dimensions of burnout based on the personality traits through Big five. Likewise, the connection to well-being, job satisfaction and the individual's thoughts of leaving the workplace. This practical contribution can help the individual to understand its vulnerability and challenges in order to be able to prevent burnout syndrome in practice. It can also help leaders and managers who run real estate agencies in Europe, to gain an insight into which employees are at greater risk of being exposed to burnout syndrome and the employees that are in need of extra support. The leaders and managers can thus adapt the work environmentand conditions to the individual's needs in order to contribute to a better workplace and reduce turnover intention. Suggestions for further research: The population of this study includes real estate agents in Europe. An interesting contribution to science would have been to examine other specific demographic areas and then compare these against each other in order to see if the working methods in the different areas would be better or worse from a burnout perspective.

Difficulties experienced at work can cause feelings of burnout that become prolonged and intensified without acts of self-care. The intense nature of mental health workers' jobs may make them, more vulnerable to burnout than other professionals. Because mental health professionals' mental and emotional wellness can significantly affect their work, adequate self-care is critical to both their well-being and that of their clients. Previous researchers have investigated the self-care behaviors of mental health professionals, but little was known about how gender affected the use of these behaviors in burnout prevention among mental health professionals. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the relationship between self-care behaviors and burnout among a sample of 325 mental health professionals working in New York. Differences in the ways male and female mental health professionals practiced self-care behaviors were also investigated. Burnout and gender role theories were used as the theoretical framework. Study instruments included the MBI-HSS and the Brief COPE. Multiple regression analysis and independent sample t tests were employed to analyze survey data. Analysis revealed levels of self-care behaviors were significantly predictive of depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and reduced personal accomplishment. Gender differences in self-care behaviors were indicated for substance use, self-blame, depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and reduced personal accomplishment. Since burnout is a significant problem for many mental health professionals, understanding how self-care affects burnout is critical to promoting behavioral changes among these professionals. Self-care among mental health professionals may improve their professional and personal lives.

This work is engaged in signs of burnout synrome by teachers at secondary school in the region of South Bohemia. 48 schools were asked to cooperate on this reaserch. For this research was used standardized questionnaire Maslach Burnout Inventory. In this research took part in 111 respondents.

Psicólogo / En este trabajo se investiga la validez factorial del MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory) que intenta medir el síndrome de Burnout. El colectivo lo conformaron 98 profesores dirigentes sindicales del Colegio de Profesores A.G. Se realizó un análisis de Componentes Principales y rotación ortogonal de tipo Varimax, el cual presentó 6 factores. En el primer componente se agrupan los ítems de Agotamiento Emocional, en el segundo los sugeridos para Despersonalización. No obstante, los descritos para Realización Personal se fragmentaron en 4 factores. La distribución de los ítems es congruente en forma parcial a los del manual y se propone una solución factorial de dos dimensiones, esto es Agotamiento Emocional y Despersonalización. Así mismo, se sugiere revisar el ítem 21, dado que en este estudio se encuentra evidencia para su eliminación. En conclusión, este trabajo plantea que la solución bifactorial permitiría evaluar el síndrome de BO con un buen nivel de validez y confiabilidad

This research examines the level of stress experienced by social workers employed in a locked mental health hospital. A comparative analysis was completed measuring the level of stress associated with the type of unit: acute or chronic.

The poor retention of special education teachers negatively impacts student academic outcomes. Special education teachers commonly cite burnout as a primary reason for leaving the field; however, there is a deficit of literature available to validate claims concerning special educators and their level of burnout. This study analyzed the psychometric properties of the Maslach Burnout Inventory: Educators' Survey using a sample of 349 special education teachers from schools across the nation (201 resource room special education teachers and 148 self-contained special education teachers). The Maslach Burnout Inventory: Educators' Survey measures three factors (e.g. subscales) emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. A confirmatory factor analysis, an exploratory factor analysis, and a multi-group measurement invariance confirmatory factor analysis were conducted. The results showed measurement invariance between the two groups of teachers. During the exploratory factor analysis, a significant fourth factor, collaborative stress, emerged. These findings suggest the current factor structure of the Maslach Burnout Inventory: Educators' Inventory needs to be modified when measuring burnout among special education teachers. This includes the need to further explore how collaboration stress relates to special education teachers and how to implement formative collaboration practices to retain special education teachers.
