Burnout and Job Satisfaction: Analyzing the Role of Coping Mechanisms in Prevention

Abstract

Burnout and job satisfaction are critical factors influencing employee well-being and organizational productivity. This study examines the impact of coping mechanisms on burnout and job satisfaction among employees. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data was collected from 80 participants, with statistical analysis conducted using One-Way ANOVA in SPSS. Descriptive analysis revealed that participants exhibited moderate levels of burnout (M = 34.50, SD = 7.14) and high job satisfaction (M = 143.21, SD = 24.39), while coping mechanisms showed a moderate mean score (M = 66.45, SD = 12.67). However, ANOVA results indicated no statistically significant relationship between coping mechanisms and burnout (F = 1.049, p = .435) or job satisfaction (F = 1.319, p = .191). These findings suggest that, although coping strategies are utilized, they may not exert a strong direct impact on burnout and job satisfaction within the studied population. This study contributes to existing literature on workplace well-being and stress management, highlighting the complexity of coping mechanisms. The results indicate that other variables, such as organizational support, personality traits, and work environment, may play a more significant role in influencing burnout and job satisfaction.
