Abstract: (70 Views)
Background: Work-family conflict and burnout are closely related because stressors that can cause harm at work can also lead to burnout over time. There is a research gap in the field of examining coping strategies and their effectiveness in women suffering from burnout and work-family conflict.
Aims: The present study aimed to determine the fit of the causal model predicting burnout based on work-family conflict mediated by job stress and coping styles in employed women.
Methods: The present research method is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of implementation, and is of the correlation type. The statistical population of this study consisted of all female employees employed on a contractual and formal basis in the central organization of Azad University in Tehran in the fall of 2024, from which 320 people were selected using the available sampling method. The research tools included the Burnout Assessment Tool (Schaufeli et al., 2020), the Multidimensional Measure of Work–Family Conflict (Carlson et al., 2000), the Health and Safety Executive Qustionnaire (Cousins et al., 2004), and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (Folkman & Lazarus, 1980). Data analysis was performed using the structural equation method and SPSS-22 and AMOS-24 software.
Results: The results showed that the fit indices obtained from the analysis supported an acceptable structural model fit with the collected data (df/2=3.12, CFI=0.925, GFI=0.913, AGFI=0.870 and RMSEA=0.069). Burnout is predicted based on work-family conflict with the mediation of job stress (P=0.040, Z=2.04) and emotion-focused (P=0.036, Z=2.09) and problem-focused (P=0.010, Z=2.56) coping styles in employed women.
Conclusion: Interventions can be made to increase and improve problem-focused coping styles, thereby reducing work-family conflict, stress, and burnout.
