Abstract:
Objective To assess the condition of job burnout in locomotive attendants,and to examine its influencing factors.
Methods A questionnaire survey using Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) was conducted among locomotive attendants of Kunming Railway Bureau to assess job burnout and its influencing factors.They also were invited to an occupational health examination.Multivariate linear regression was applied to analyze the data.
Results Of the 2 024 questionnaires delivered,1 967(97.18%) returned ones were valid.The age of the participants was (37.56& #177;7.19) years,and all were male.The job burnout average score was 73.44& #177;23.06.Of the 1 967 locomotive attendants,108(5.49%) were identified with mild job burnout,551(28.01%) with moderate job burnout,and 1 308(66.50%) with severe job burnout.The results of multivariate linear regression showed that three common factors (effort,reward,and personal work-related details) entered the model.The standardized partial regression coefficients indicated the leading contribution of the influencing factors were effort followed by reward and personal work-related details.The partial regression coefficients suggested that job burnout level was positively correlated with effort,while negatively with reward or personal work-related details.
Conclusion Job burnout is prevalent among the locomotive attendants.Effort,reward,and personal work-related details are the risk factors of job burnoutgroup
