Risk and protective factors of vulnerability to burnout and occupational health issues in university students: Is being excellent an advantage?
Original language description
Little is known about whether being academically excellent matters when it comes to vulnerability to burnout and occupational health risks indicated by unhealthy patterns of dealing with work-related demand. The present study examined risk and protective factors of (un)healthy work-related coping behaviour and experience patterns assessed by the Arbeitsbezogenes Verhaltens- und Erlebensmuster inventory in 400 university students. A particular focus was given to the role of academic excellence conceptualised as a compound of educational excellence manifested in high academic achievement (operationalised through the grade point average and four other indicators) and personal excellence manifested in prosocial, moral, and self-reflective behaviour (operationalised through three specifically developed items). A multinomial logistic regression was performed to investigate the predictive values of background and excellence-related variables for assignment to distinct patterns. The central finding was a protective role of personal excellence against the resigned risk pattern B, indicating vulnerability to burnout. A similar protective effect had a personally important job, but not a job considered less important/temporal, suggesting that the protective role of the job status is mediated by the psychological value of the job itself rather than by the material benefits of having a job. In contrast, academic achievement or being considered excellent by teachers played no role in protecting individuals against burnout and occupational health risks. From the perspective of predicting a health-promoting approach in dealing with occupational stress, it appears that grades and academic success have little relevance and morality and virtuousness in a student are the most influential factors.
