- Title
Editor Toast: A Study of Burnout and Job Satisfaction among College Newspaper Editors.
- Authors
FILAK, VINCENT F.; REINARDY, SCOTT
- Abstract
Using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, a study of 185 college newspaper editors revealed that participants were experiencing moderate levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, two key factors in clinical burnout. Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were significant negative predictors of editors' job satisfaction while personal accomplishment was a significant positive predictor. When compared to the advisers drawn from the same sample pool (n 217), student editors had significantly higher scores on the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization scales. However, there were no differences between advisers and editors on job satisfaction.
