Influence of some psychosocial factors on mobbing and its consequences among employees working with people with intellectual disabilities.

BACKGROUND: The problem of mobbing has attracted a great deal of attention over the past few years. This concern has increased the study of the phenomena, which has resulted in many scientific publications. Mobbing has been characterized as an emerging risk at work. The aim of this study was to analyse the influence of some psychosocial factors at work - role clarity, interpersonal conflicts and social support - on mobbing and its consequences - that is, inclination towards absenteeism and psychosomatic disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sample included 422 employees working with people with intellectual disabilities. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. RESULTS: The Hypothesized model showed an adequate fit to data, and all hypothesized relationships were significant. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study provide support for the mediator role of mobbing in the relationship between high role ambiguity, low social support and high interpersonal conflicts and psychosomatic disorders and inclination towards absenteeism.

Síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo y satisfacción laboral en profesionales de enfermería / Burnout and job satisfaction among nursing professionals

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las relaciones existentes entre el síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo (burnout) y satisfacción laboral en profesionales de enfermería. La muestra estuvo formada por 316 profesionales de enfermería seleccionados de manera no aleatoria. El diseño del estudio fue longitudinal y no aleatorio, con una diferencia de un año entre tiempo 1 (T1) y tiempo 2 (T2). Los análisis de regresión jerárquica ofrecieron evidencia empírica del efecto significativo y negativo del síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo (síntomas de agotamiento emocional y despersonalización) en T1 sobre la satisfacción laboral en T2. También se obtuvieron resultados significativos que pusieron de manifiesto la influencia de la satisfacción laboral en T1 sobre la dimensión de despersonalización del síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo en T2. Se concluye que existe una relación bidireccional y longitudinal entre ambas variables, aunque los efectos longitudinales del síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo en T1 sobre la satisfacción laboral en T2 (síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo antecedente de satisfacción laboral) son más intensos que viceversa (satisfacción laboral antecedente de síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo) (AU)

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction among nursing professionals. The sample consisted of 316 staff nurses. The study was longitudinal, and not randomized. The gap between Time 1 (T1) and Time 2 (T2) was one year. Hierarchical regression analysis showed empirical evidence of the significant and negative effect of burnout (i.e., Emotional exhaustion and Depersonalization dimensions) at T1 on job satisfaction in T2. Significant results were also obtained that showed the influence of job satisfaction at T1 on burnout at T2 (i.e., Depersonalization dimension). The study concludes that there is a bidirectional and longitudinal relationship between burnout and job satisfaction. However, longitudinal effects of burnout at T1 on job satisfaction on T2 (i.e., burnout as antecedent of job satisfaction) are stronger than vice-versa (i.e., job satisfaction as antecedent of burnout) (AU)
