| Summary: | Objective: This study aims to examine the predictors of work exhaustion in the general population, with a particular focus on the roles of burnout, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among a sample from the French general population. The survey included measures of burnout using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), anxiety (GAD-7), depression (PHQ-9), and trauma-related symptoms (International Trauma Questionnaire [ITQ]). Correlation and Regression analyses were performed to identify significant predictors of work exhaustion Results: The analysis revealed that personal burnout (CBI) were significant positive predictors of work exhaustion. Older individuals and men reported higher levels of work exhaustion. However, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms did not emerge as significant predictors. Conclusion: The findings underscore the critical role of specific dimensions of burnout, particularly personal burnout, in predicting work exhaustion. These results suggest that targeted interventions addressing these aspects of burnout may be crucial in reducing work-related stress and improving employee well-being. The study also highlights the need for further research on the indirect effects of trauma on work exhaustion in the general population. |
