Structural Equation Modeling Approach in Explaining the Relationships Between a Resistant Mind and Personal Values with Burnout

In the military workplace, burnout has been considered by researchers but its relationship with the resilient mind and personal values has been neglected. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the structural equation modeling approach in explaining the relationship between resilient mind and personal values with burnout.

The method of this research was descriptive and one of the examples of correlation schemes. In this study, 400 people (382 men and 18 women) from the military working in the army air force headquarters participated as a research sample. Participants were asked to complete the Maslach Burnout Questionnaire (1991), the Maslach Burnout Questionnaire (1991), the Klaf Mental Strength Questionnaire (MTQ-48), and Sherry and Verma Personal Values (PVQ). The obtained data were analyzed by structural equation method.

The results showed that the fit indices of the research model were in good condition (GFI <0.9) and resilient mind plays a mediating role in the relationship between personal values and burnout.

The results show that personal values, with the mediation of a resilient mind, predict the rate of burnout.
