Abstract
This study was carried out to
determine the level of Job Involvement
and extent of Burnout among
managers. The results revealed
that the managers scored high on
Job Involvement, low on Depersonalization
and Emotional
Exhaustion and moderate on
Personal Accomplishment. The
study also found the correlation
between Job Involvement and
Burnout measured on three
dimensions: two negative dimensions–
De-personalisation and
Emotional Exhaustion and one
positive dimension - Personal
Accomplishment. It was found that
Job Involvement had a negative
correlation with De-personalization
and Emotional Exhaustion
and positive correlation with
Personal Accomplishment. The
correlation results indicate that
Burnout can be minimized /avoided
if individuals develop a high level
of involvement in their jobs and
they are able to identify themselves
psychologically with their jobs.
Keywords : Personal accomplishment, emotional exhaustion, de-personalization
