The present study aimed to examine the personality correlates of individuals high on the two central dimensions (emotional exhaustion and depersonalization) of burnout. The sample consisted of 200 manager level employees from industries in Northern India. Extreme groups were drawn on the basis of scores on emotional exhaustion and depersonalization dimensions of burnout. Results of the statistical analysis reveal that subjects in the high and low depersonalization group differ significantly on scores of Psychotocism and Neuroticism. The analysis of groups formed on the basis of emotional exhaustion revealed that individuals high on exhaustion differed significantly on their Neuroticism scores as compared to subjects found low on emotional exhaustion. The findings of the study indicate that those who succumb to pressures and burnout may have a prior disposition towards neuroticism. |
