Heterogeniteit in burn-outklachten onder jonge Nederlandse werknemers
article
Heterogeneity in burnout complaints among young Dutch employees Self-reported burnout complaints have been increasing among young workers. In order to identify starting points for addressing this issue, greater insight is required into the heterogeneity within this group regarding these complaints. This research focuses on burnout complaints among young employees and on relevant factors. Using the National Survey on Working Conditions by TNO/ CBS, we examined (1) how burnout complaints among young employees have developed since 2014, broken down by educational level, and (2) what associations exist between various background and work characteristics and burnout complaints among young employees in general, as well as (3) within subgroups based on educational level. Results show an increase in burnout complaints for all educational levels. Risk groups are identified based on gender, age, and educational level. However, work characteristics such as perceived job insecurity, high job demands, and low autonomy in particular appear to play an important role in explaining differences in burnout complaints. We also observe that higher job demands have a stronger correlation with burnout complaints among young workers with intermediate education, compared with young workers higher education. Psychosocial work characteristics therefore provide important starting points for interventions aimed at preventing or reducing burnout complaints among younger employees.
