| dc.description.abstract | This study examined the role of organizational factors in the experience of engagement and burnout in a sample of correctional mental health professionals. Specifically, a linear combination consisting of perceived organizational support and six dimensions of the Areas of Worklife Scale were used in three multiple regression analyses to predict three dimensions of burnout from the Maslach Burnout Inventory. In the first analysis, approximately 40% of the variance in Emotional Exhaustion was accounted for, with Workload accounting for the most variance. In the second analysis, approximately 17% of the variance in Depersonalization was accounted for, with Organizational Support accounting for the most the variance. In the third analysis, approximately 14% of the variance was accounted for, with Organizational Support accounting for approximately 13% of the variance. Implications, limitations, and future areas for research are discussed. | |
