Abstract
GAVILANES-GAVILANES, Jazmina and MORETA-HERRERA, Rodrigo. Labor satisfaction, mental health and burnout. Partial mediation analysis in a sample of drivers from Ecuador. Rev. psicodebate: psicol. cult. soc. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.2, pp.7-19. Epub July 01, 2020. ISSN 2451-6600. http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/pd.v20i2.1875.
Objective:
To determine the mediation presented by Mental Health in the relation of Labor Satisfaction and Burnout in carriers of extra-heavy cargo from Salcedo, Ecuador.
Methodology:
The research is predictive, mediation and cross-sectional through the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Goldberg General Health Questionnaire and the Labor Satisfaction Scale S20/23.
Sample:
152 extra-heavy load drivers from 11 transport companies participated. The average age was 44.5 years (SD= 10.9).
Results:
Labor Satisfaction was moderate and there was a presence of Burnout, as well as psychological symptoms among drivers. Job Satisfaction and Mental Health were related to Burnout and these predicted changes in variance by 41.7%. Mental Health exerts a function of partial mediation between Satisfaction and Burnout (c= -,297; p < ,001 [c’= -,244; p < ,001]).
Conclusion:
Occupational Satisfaction and Mental Health are fundamental for the control and correction of Burnout in the analysed sample.
