A Correlative Study On Job Burnout Of Police

Job burnout is a research hotspot in recent years, and has reflected in many occupational fields. Research on job burnout, originated in the 1970s in the United States, has been more than 30 years of studying history and achieved fruitful results. Research on job burnout have been achieved some results in China, but more to teachers and health care workers as the research object. Study in police occupation has also been few. In 1997, Maslach and Leiter put forward the Individual -Situation Matching theory that the more individual and situation does not match, the more likely job burnout is; more match, the higher degree of job input is. This study briefly reviews the history of job burnout, and discusses how factors such as roles pressure, coping style, collective efficacy affect the job burnout of police on the basis of previous studies, from the Individual -Situation Matching theory, using the method of literature and survey research. The part of the empirical study is a questionnaire survey from 40 Squadron 245 police, the results are as follows:1.Analysis to dependable variable dealt with demography variable shows that: The scores of policemen in the role conflict and depersonalization are significantly higher than those of policewomen officers; the scores of unmarried police in the emotion exhaustion are significantly lower than those of married police, role ambiguity in the scoring significantly higher than that of married police; the scores of 26-35-year-old police in the diminished personal accomplishment, role conflict and role ambiguity are significantly higher than those of 36-45-year-old police, the emotion exhaustion scores are significantly higher than those of under the age of 25 police; the scores of the 16-25 years police in reducing the achievement are significantly lower than those of below 5 years and 6-15 years police, the scores of below 5 years police in the role ambiguity, role conflict are significantly higher than those of the 16-25 years police; the scores of special police in emotion exhaustion, depersonalization, diminished personal accomplishment, role ambiguity and role conflict are significantly higher than those of other police.2. Job burnout is positively related to role ambiguity, role conflict, and negative coping style but negatively relate to positive coping style; emotion exhaustion is positively related to role ambiguity, role conflict and negative coping style; depersonalization is positively related to role ambiguity, role conflict and negative coping style; diminished personal accomplishment is negatively related to positive coping style but positively relate to negative coping style; role ambiguity is negatively relate to positive coping style but positively relate to negative coping style; role conflict is positively relate to negative coping style.3. Role pressure not only impacts on job burnout directly, but also impacts on job burnout indirectly through the medium of coping styles. Coping style works as partial medium between role pressure and job burnout. The explicit mechanism of variables is described as follows:Positive coping style significantly mediates between role ambiguity and diminished personal accomplishment but do not significantly mediate between role ambiguity and depersonalization. Negative coping style do not significantly mediated between role conflict and emotion exhaustion, between role conflict and depersonalization.4. Multilayer analysis for using police job burnout as dependable variable concluded: (1) On job burnout role conflict, role ambiguity, role conflict and negative coping style are significant positive anticipation genes; on emotion exhaustion, role conflict and negative coping style are significant positive anticipation genes; on depersonalization, role ambiguity, role conflict and negative coping style are significant positive anticipation genes; on diminished personal accomplishment, role ambiguity is a significant positive anticipation gene.(2) On lochus level, collective efficacy of the police can positively anticipate job burnout and emotion exhaustion.After results, the thesis put forward the corresponding countermeasures to prevent and intervene in job burnout of police, improve satisfaction with the work and the level of physical and mental health, and possible recommendations on follow-up study.
