This research focuses on designing a structural equation model to estimate the effect of mobbing and burnout on performance (job and personal) among administrative staff in a state government office in Mexico. The model proposes the existence of two predictor variables (mobbing and burnout), which influence the level of employee performance.
Objective
The present study aims to develop a structural equation model to identify the relationships and effects between burnout syndrome, mobbing, and performance in administrative personnel.
Methods
This is a non-experimental, descriptive, and correlational study. The sample size was 188 participants. The following questionnaires were administered: the Inventory of Violence and Psychological Harassment at the Workplace (IVAPT), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) General Survey, a job performance evaluation, and a general data sheet that included informed consent. For data analysis and processing, the statistical software SPSS 20 and SPSS Amos 23.0 were used.
Results
The instruments demonstrated validity and reliability, with an overall Cronbach's alpha of α = 0.899. The results briefly indicated that burnout has a significant negative effect on job performance (−0.642), while mobbing has a significant positive effect on burnout (.646). In contrast, the direct effect of mobbing on job performance was found to be non-significant (0.248) in the investigation.
Conclusions
It is concluded that an inverse relationship exists between burnout and job performance, where burnout increases and job performance decreases.
