Going to work day after day is a centerpiece of most American adult lives. How to stay engaged, refreshed, and find meaning in our work is an important question for workers, and how to keep employees engaged and working effectively is an important question for employers.
A recent study investigated the relationship between burnout, mindfulness, social support, and job satisfaction. The study was conducted on a sample of employees working in a financial corporate environment in Johannesburg, South Africa. Participants completed questionnaires measuring burnout, mindfulness, social support and job satisfaction. Results indicated that all three constructs (mindfulness, social support and job satisfaction) were negatively associated with burnout. Upon further analysis of the data, researchers discovered that each construct was predictive of less burnout independent of the others. The strongest predictor was job satisfaction, followed by mindfulness, and then by social support.
