Abstract: | Conditions believed to produce burnout are examined empirically with the Gillespie-Numerof Burnout Inventory (GNBI) in a sample of 154 health service professionals. The GNBI was administered in a 205-bed, religious-affiliated general hospital located in a major midwestern city. Findings indicate that burnout is inversely related to two job characteristics: degree of formalization and perceived adequacy of communication with supervisor; and burnout is related inversely to three provider characteristics: age, marital status, and years of experience in present position. Age of the provider and communication with supervisor are strongly related to burnout. |
