Psychological environments and burnout: gender considerations within the corporation

Article Abstract:

A survey was conducted among managerial and non-managerial employees to determine if employees' genders affect their susceptibility to burnout. The issue of gender has recently been neglected in organizational studies. But results of this study reveal that men and women do have differnt experiences in the workplace. Male managers and women in non-managerial levels reported higher degrees of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. These results imply that organizational development programs and burn-out prevention strategies must address the different issues that concern men and women.

The development of an occupational attributional style questionnaire

Article Abstract:

Attributional styles correlate with social class, job satisfaction and intrinsic motivation. A study using an occupational attributional style questionnaire to test attributions for work-related events shows that success is attributed to internal factors, while failure is attributed to external causes. A pessimistic person equates failure with personal inadequacies, and this mind-set results in a predisposition toward poor job performance.

'Work' or 'leisure'? The Protestant work ethic and participation in an employee fitness program

Article Abstract:

Endorsement of the Protestant work ethic is directly related to employee participation in company fitness programs, which influences job productivity. A survey on the use of a Canadian corporation's in-house fitness center offers proof that employees who regularly use the facilities have positive attitudes toward their work and are worth retaining. Most employees perceive on-the-job fitness as work rather than leisure.
