Síndrome de Burnout y el desempeño laboral en los auditores gubernamentales

Abstract

Government auditors in Ecuador face exhausting workloads that predispose them to cause psychosocial problems such as Burnout Syndrome (Work Burnout Syndrome), among others. In the same way, burnout is evaluated and the variables that most affect it are presented. For most government auditors, the job is much more than a forty-hour week commitment, they continue to work after hours at home and regularly on weekends, even many find a substantial part of their satisfaction and identity in the job itself, consequently their work life is intertwined with their personal one. Job performance depends on the conditions in which the activities are carried out and the psychological conditions to which the auditors are exposed. The study applied the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) scale to 296 auditors, which identified burnout levels and how they affect job performance.
