Abstract
Relevance. There are numerous sources dedicated to the study of burnout, yet contemporary psychological science lacks a unified understanding of the mechanisms underlying its origin.
The purpose of our study is to analyze the relationships between “inhibitors,” “catalysts,” and indicators of burnout among professionals in sociological professions.
The study involved 229 participants, including social workers (89) and teachers (140), all women, aged 22 to 71.
Materials and methods. The study employed a testing method (Professional Burnout Questionnaire, Volitional Self-Control Questionnaire, etc.) followed by analytical-synthetic processing of the obtained data through correlation analysis.
Results. The data obtained on the relationship between burnout and the personal characteristics of employees of socionomic professions suggest that there are certain application points for influencing them in the process of psychotherapy.
Conclusion. The conducted study can play a significant role in managing work-related stress and minimizing the risks of burnout syndrome. It may assist in developing a psychotherapeutic strategy for coping with burnout among professionals in socionomic professions.
