Efecto del clima psicosocial del grupo y de la personalidad en el síndrome de quemado en el trabajo en docentes

The present study evaluates how psychosocial group climate and personality affects burnout syndrome (BS) in teachers of infant, primary and secondary education. To do so questionnaires were administered to evaluate psychosocial climate, personality and burnout in a sample of 386 teachers. The study analyzes the relation between these variables and the extent to which the variables of climate and personality allow a predictive model of burnout to be established by means of multiple regression analysis. The results showed that both psychosocial climate (particularly the degree of disorganization) and personality (particularly emotional stability) influence burnout and, although climate factors seem to be better predictors of BS, the use of personality measurements increases the predictive capacity of the syndrome. Therefore, the joint use of these types of predictor increases our ability to establish models that can prevent BS in teaching environmentsEl presente estudio evalúa las relaciones de la percepción del clima psicosocial y de la personalidad con el síndrome de quemado en el trabajo (SQT) o burnout en docentes de educación infantil, primaria y secundaria con este fin se administraron cuestionarios para evaluar el clima psicosocial, la personalidad y el burnout a una muestra de 386 docentes. Se analizaron las relaciones entre dichas variables y se analizó hasta qué punto las variables de clima y personalidad permiten establecer un modelo predictivo del SQT mediante el análisis de regresión múltiple. Los resultados mostraron que tanto el clima psicosocial (especialmente el grado de desorganización) como la personalidad (especialmente la amabilidad) influyen en el burnout y, aunque los factores de clima parecen ser mejores predictores del SQT, la utilización de medidas de personalidad incrementan la capacidad predictiva de dicho síndrome. De este modo la utilización conjunta de estos dos tipos de predictores mejoran la capacidad de establecer modelos que permitan la prevención del SQT en entornos docentes

How Individual and Contextual Factors Affects Antisocial and Delinquent Behaviors: A Comparison between Young Offenders, Adolescents at Risk of Social Exclusion, and a Community Sample

Filiació URV: SIThe problems associated with violence during adolescence have been on the rise in recent decades. Many studies have focused only on environmental causes or individual causes of violence, although a combination of both variables would seem to be the best option for prediction. The current study aims to assess the relevance of individual characteristics (personality traits, intelligence, and historical and clinical factors linked to the risk of violence), contextual risk factors and protective factors in explaining antisocial and delinquent behaviors in adolescence by comparing three different samples: a community sample, a sample at risk of social exclusion, and a sample of juvenile offenders. The results show that the samples at risk of social exclusion and the sample of juvenile offenders have a very similar profile in terms of personality traits and intelligence, although they differ from the community sample. However, these two samples do differ in such contextual variables as peer delinquency, poor parental management, community disorganization, or early caregiver disruption
