Majority of Healthcare Workers Report Feeling Emotional Exhaustion on the Job
In a recent survey conducted by the Komi Scientific Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it was revealed that a significant number of economically active residents of Syktyvkar have experienced workplace burnout.
The survey found that 61% of respondents have experienced burnout, with the issue worsening as employees age. Specifically, 53% of respondents under 35, 56% aged 35-45, and 61% of those over 45 reported experiencing burnout.
However, it appears that not all those who experience burnout are seeking help from management. In fact, most employees who have experienced burnout do not dare to seek help, with 71% of respondents admitting to this.
Of those who do seek help, the results are mixed. Only 28% of those who sought help from management reported positive results, while 65% of respondents with higher education and 65% of those aged 35 and above who have experienced burnout did not receive any help from management.
Interestingly, the survey revealed gender and income-based disparities in the rate of burnout and the likelihood of receiving help from management. Women are more likely to experience burnout than men (63% vs. 59%), and they are also slightly more likely to seek help from management (25% vs. 22%). Additionally, women are more likely to resign due to burnout than men.
Furthermore, employees earning less than 50,000 rubles a month are the least likely to seek help from management (14%) and the least likely to receive help from management among those who seek it. Conversely, employees under 35 are the most likely to seek help from management and the most likely to receive help from management among those who seek it.
Employees earning less than 100,000 rubles a month are more likely to resign due to burnout than those earning more. In half of the cases, burnout led to resignation.
Despite these findings, 31% of respondents deny having experienced burnout, highlighting the need for continued awareness and support for those affected by this issue. It is crucial for employers to address the issue of burnout and provide support to their employees to prevent it from leading to resignation and to promote a healthier, more productive workforce.
