Burnout is understood as a stable professional and personal deformation, which can be typical for teachers (Maslach, Schaufeli, 1993). Multilevel structure of burnout that include physiological, affective-cognitive, and behavioral dimensions was described (Perlman, Hartman, 1998). С. Maslach proposes a three-dimensional burnout model, including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduction of personal achievements (Maslach, 2000; Schaufeli, Enzman, 1998). It is especially important to prevent burnout by effective using of self-regulation resources during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the level of stress increases (Samanta et al., 2020; Pascale, 2020).
Objectives
The study was held in 50 teachers, who worked remotely during the self-isolation due to COVID-19 pandemic, and aimed to estimate the relationship between psychological resources of self-regulation and signs of reduced professional burnout in teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The results revealed that the teachers with high and medium burnout differ in terms of engagement as a component of hardiness (p=0,002). The teachers with less pronounced burnout syndrome have more developed involvement, which means that these teachers enjoy their own activities and, perhaps, this is what becomes a psychological resource and allows to overcome emotional exhaustion. There is an inverse relationship between such a sign of professional burnout as emotional exhaustion and involvement as a component of hardiness (r=- 0,521, p=0).
Conclusions
The results of the study can be applied to develop programs to improve the psychological well-being and performance of teachers working under stress due to COVID-19 pandemic.
The problem of job satisfaction connected with work efficiency and psychological well-being of professionals is especially actual in stress conditions due to COVID-19 pandemic. The stress has a negative effect on job satisfaction (Singh et al., 2019). The one of the most important criteria for successful activities is a job satisfaction (Burić & Moè, 2020). The highest level of job satisfaction can be achieved by the high adaptive potential of professionals, who have a diverse arsenal of self-regulation resources and apply them adequately to working conditions (Kuznetsova et al., 2019).
Objectives
The study was held in 45 professionals from different fields, who work remotely during the self-isolation due to COVID-19 pandemic and aimed to estimate the correlation between job satisfaction and self-regulation resources of professionals under work stress.
Methods
The assessment methods included: 1) test “Job Satisfaction” by V.A. Rozanova 2) S. Hobfoll’s “SACS” 3) Ch. Spilberger’s “Trait Anxiety”.
Results
The results revealed an average level of anxiety with a tendency to growth. Avoidance, asocial and aggressive behaviour are frequently used. The direct correlation between the level of job satisfaction and such a resource of self-regulation as a search for social contact was revealed (r=0.291; p=0.049). The general level of anxiety is directly related to avoidance (r=0. 374; p=0.011), manipulative (r=0.343; p=0.021) and aggressive actions (r=0.343; p=0.021), and negatively correlates with assertive actions (r=-0.703; p=0).
Conclusions
The results of the study can be used to develop programs to improve the psychological well-being and performance of employees working under stress due to COVID-19 pandemic.
