Burnout and Organizational Commitment among Professors

Abstract

Burnout and organizational commitment are two critical elements that influence employees’ well-being and level of engagement inside an organization. Employees in today’s fast-paced and demanding work situations frequently report high levels of stress, tiredness, and a sense of separation from their work. Burnout, defined as a state of physical, emotional, and mental weariness induced by continuous work-related stress, has become a widespread issue in many industries. Organizational commitment, on the other hand, relates to how strongly employees identify with and support their organization. It includes their belief in the organization’s goals and ideals, their readiness to put up work on its behalf, and their desire to continue a long-term relationship with the organization. The current research aims to investigate the impact of variables such as burnout and organizational commitment among professors. A purposive sampling method was used to draw a sample of 120 from Bangalore, India. Pearson correlation and linear regression were used to analyse the data. Results revealed that there was a significant negative relationship between burnout and organizational commitment among professors in Bangalore, with burnout being a significant predictor of organizational commitment, with a moderate negative effect.
