Title Burnout and health status in Italian air traffic controllers
Bibliographic information Apr. 1994, Vol.65, No.4, p.315-322. Illus. 33 ref.
Abstract Results of a questionnaire survey of 109 air traffic controllers are presented. Data indicate that burnout syndrome, defined as emotional-mental exhaustion, is closely and positively related to age, years spent in air traffic control, professional dissatisfaction and to work stressors, but not to nonwork stressors. Burnout was negatively correlated with social support provided by friends and family.
