Sažetak
The relationship of personality traits, perceived social support and coping styles with three components of burnout were examined on a sample of 214 hospital nurses. Hierarchical regression analyses were used. As predictor variables in the first step of the analyses five-factor personality traits, in the second three sources of social support (coworker, family, and friend support), and in the third step three coping styles (problem-focused, emotion-focused and avoidance coping) were included. Three components of burnout (emocional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal efficacy) were analysed as criterion variables. The results showed that emotional exhaustion was predicted by high neuroticism and, after controlling for personality traits, also by lower support from coworkers. Although depersonalization was predicted by personality traits as a group of variables, none of them alone exert significant effect. However, after controlling for personality traits and social support, coping styles as a group of variables did not significantly increase the coefficients of multiple correlation, but avoidance coping style proved to be a significant predictor of depersonalization. Reduced professional efficacy was significantly predicted by low agreeableness, and, after controlling for personality traits, low social support from coworkers. Although burnout is most frequently examined in the situational context, the resuts obtained in this study suggest that it should be conceptualized and examined also in dispositional context.
