Impacto da regulação de emoções no trabalho sobre as dimensões de Burnout em psicólogos: O papel moderador da autoeficácia

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether emotional regulation predicts the dimensions of burnout and also to identify whether self-efficacy functions as mediating variable in the relationship between the regulation of emotions and dimensions of burnout in a sample of 518 psychologists. It was used as research instrument the Questionnaire for the Assessment of Burnout Syndrome, the General Scale of Self-efficacy and the Subscale of emotional regulation from the Emotional Labor Scale. The results obtained by means of hierarchical regression analysis confirmed the hypotheses that emotional regulation predicts the dimensions of Burnout and that self-efficacy plays a mediating role between emotional regulation and the dimensions of Burnout. The results demonstrate the importance of interventions for the development of self-efficacy in psychologists as a measure of prevention or rehabilitation of the burnout syndrome.
