- Abstract
The present descriptive study examines the associations between leaders' burnout and coping humour in Pakistani universities. Population consisted of all Deans, Directors and Heads from universities located in Lahore. Purposively142 Deans, Directors and Heads from Lahore College for Women University and University of Punjab were selected to collect data. The sample consisted of professors, associate professors and assistant professors. Three different tools, Individual Background Questionnaire, The Coping Humour Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory- Educators Survey (MBI-ES) were used to collect information about research variables. Correlation analysis and simple descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results of correlations analysis showed that all variables were associated with the three sub scales of MBI-ES i.e. emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment. It was reported that there is a strong negative relationship between both variables. Leaders with high humour had relatively low level of burnout. More specifically Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were negatively related to both affiliate and self-enhancing humor. The study highlights the importance of humour in coping with stress and wellbeing in the academia.
