BACKGROUND: Burnout results from a prolonged response to chronic
emotional and interpersonal workplace stressors. The focus of research has
been widened to job engagement.
AIM: Purpose of the study was to examine associations between
burnout, job engagement, work demands, and organisational culture (OC) and
to demonstrate differences between physicians and nurses working in general
hospital in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Maslach Burnout Inventory and Utrecht Work
Engagement Scale were used for assessment of burnout and job engagement.
Work demands and OC were measured with Hospital Experience Scale and
Competing Values Framework, respectively.
RESULTS: Higher scores of dedication, hierarchy OC, and
organizational work demands were found in physicians. Nurses demonstrated
higher scores of clan OC. Burnout negatively correlated with clan and market
OC in physicians and nurses. Job engagement positively correlated with clan
and market OC in nurses. Different work demands were related to different
dimensions of burnout and/or job engagement. Our findings support job
demands-resources (JD-R) model (Demerouti and Bakker).
CONCLUSIONS: Data obtained can be used in implementation of specific
organizational interventions in the hospital setting. Providing adequate
JD-R interaction can lead to prevention of burnout in health professionals (HPs)
and contribute positively to better job engagement in HPs and higher quality
of patient care.
