The correaltion between authorithy excercising social workers experiences of threats, self-rated burnout, organizational support and self-care (English)
Abstract [sv]

Studiens syfte var att undersöka sambandet mellan upplevelsen av hot bland socialsekreterare och självskattad utmattning. Samt påverkan som organisatoriskt stöd och självomsorg har på dessa. Denna studie använde sig av kvantitativ metodologi med deduktiv teoribildning. Genom slumpmässigt urval kontaktades 86 kommuner i Sverige. Urvalet för studien bestod av 294 (N=294) socialsekreterare i Sverige. Det empiriska instrumentet bestod av en elektronisk enkät med likertskalor, uppdelad i: bakgrundsfrågor, upplevelse av hot, organisatoriskt stöd mot hot, självskattning av utmattning, organisatoriskt stöd mot utmattning och självomsorg. Studiens slutsats visade på samband mellan upplevelse av hot på arbetsplatsen och självskattad utmattning. Även visade studiens slutsats på att upplevelsen av starkt organisatoriskt stöd mot utmattning minskar den upplevda utmattningen. Dock visade studien att det inte finns någon betydande påverkan av det organisatoriska stödet mot hot, vid upplevelse av hot. Aktiv självomsorg vid hantering av upplevt hot och utmattning visade sig inte minska den självskattade utmattningen. Studiens slutsats visade även att kön, ålder och yrkeserfarenhet inte hade en större betydelse om en individ upplever sig vara utmattad.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of the study was to investigate the correlation between the experience of threats among social workers and self-rated burnout. As well as the impact that organizational support and self-care have on these. This study used quantitative methodology with deductive theory building. Through random sampling, 86 municipalities in Sweden were contacted. The sample for the study consisted of 294 (N=294) social workers in Sweden. The empirical instrument consisted of an electronic survey with Likert scales, divided into: background questions, experience of threat, organizational support against threat, self-estimation of burnout, organizational support against burnout and self-care. The study's conclusion showed a correlation between the experience of threats in the workplace and self-rated burnout. Also, the study's conclusion showed that the experience of strong organizational support against burnout reduces the perceived burnout. However, it was shown that there is no significant influence of the organizational support against threats, when experiencing threats. Active self-care in dealing with perceived threat and burnout was not found to reduce self-rated burnout. The study's conclusion also showed that gender, age and professional experience did not have a greater significance for an individual experiencing burnout.
