Is Well-being Associated With Burnout? From a Multicenter Cross-sectional Study in Taiwan.

Abstract

This article aims to explore the correlation between well-being and burnout and analyze other potential predictors of burnout. The analyses included 242 Taiwanese workers with a balanced gender ratio. Our study used the Chinese version of the Workplace PERMA (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationship, Meaning, Accomplishment)-Profiler for well-being assessment and the Chinese version of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory to assess the participants' burnout condition. The results of the questionnaire was analyzed for their correlations using linear regression. The well-being subscales significantly related to personal burnout were Positive Emotion and Engagement. For work-related burnout, the significantly associated well-being subscales were Positive Emotion, Engagement, and Relationships. The results indicate that workplace well-being indeed correlates significantly with burnout. Different domains of well-being play different roles in burnout of workers.
