Abstract (Swedish)
Utmattning har under de senaste åren blivit en av de vanligaste orsakerna till sjukfrånvaro i Sverige, vilket medför konsekvenser på såväl individuell som organisatorisk och samhällsekonomisk nivå. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur upplevda arbetskrav, kontroll, socialt stöd och prestationsbaserad självkänsla (PBS) påverkar risken för utmattning bland yrkesverksamma i Sverige. Data samlades in genom en webbenkät. Deltagarna bestod av 106 individer i åldern 23-71 år, som var anställda vid privata företag i Skåne eller rekryterades via sociala medier. En korrelationsanalys visade att utmattning var positivt relaterad till upplevda arbetskrav och PBS, samt negativt relaterad till kontroll och socialt stöd. En hierarkisk... (More)

En korrelationsanalys visade att utmattning var positivt relaterad till upplevda arbetskrav och PBS, samt negativt relaterad till kontroll och socialt stöd. En hierarkisk regressionsanalys visade att socialt stöd och PBS var signifikanta prediktorer för arbetsrelaterad utmattning. Resultaten indikerar att socialt stöd är en viktig skyddsfaktor mot utmattning, medan hög PBS utgör en individuell riskfaktor. Studien visar att både arbetsrelaterade och psykologiska faktorer samvarierar i utvecklingen av utmattning. Praktiska implikationer är att förebyggande insatser i arbetslivet bör fokusera på att stärka socialt stöd samt att identifiera tecken på överengagemang snarare än att belöna det. (Less)
Abstract
In recent years, exhaustion disorder has become one of the most common causes of sick leave in Sweden, leading to consequences at individual, organizational and socioeconomic levels. The aim of this study was to investigate how perceived work demands, control, social support and performance-based self-esteem (PBSE) affect the risk of exhaustion among working people in Sweden. Data was collected through a web survey. The participants consisted of 106 individuals aged 23-71, who were employed by private companies in the province of Skåne or recruited via social media. A correlation analysis showed that exhaustion was positively related to perceived work demands and PBSE, and negatively related to control and social support. A hierarchical... (More)

A correlation analysis showed that exhaustion was positively related to perceived work demands and PBSE, and negatively related to control and social support. A hierarchical regression analysis showed that social support and PBSE were significant predictors of work-related exhaustion. The results indicate that social support is an important protective factor against exhaustion, while high PBSE constitutes an individual risk factor. The study shows that both work-related and psychological factors covary in the development of exhaustion disorder. Practical implications are that preventive measures in working life should focus on strengthening social support and identifying signs of overcommitment rather than rewarding it. (Less)
