The Effects Of Emotion Work On Burnout Components And Burnout's Effects On Workgroups

Chamberlain, Lindsey

Abstract Details

2009, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Sociology.
This study examines how burnout occurs within organizations and its relationship with organizational-level variables by adapting an individual-level psychological survey of burnout to a coding instrument that may be used to code burnout within workplace ethnographies. Additionally, I extend one of the primary organizational antecedents of burnout, interpersonal interaction, to uncover the relationship between the two. I examine interpersonal interaction in terms of aspects of emotional labor. My measures of burnout and emotional labor are added to an existing ethnographic dataset. I find that the source and type of emotion work have different effects on the burnout components. I also find that the different components of burnout have different effects on workgroups’ experiences and consequences. I argue that the concept of burnout should be examined as an organizational-level phenomenon and may need to be extended to include antecedents not solely related to interaction in the workplace.
