Background and Aim: Hardiness, as a personality trait, encompasses commitment, control, and challenge, which can play a significant role in reducing the negative effects of stress and improving mental and spiritual health.
Methods: This cross-sectional-analytical study was conducted on 116 administrative staff of Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences in Tehran in 2023. The data collection tools included four questionnaires: general health (GHQ-28), spiritual well-being scale (SWBS), hardiness questionnaire (Kobasa), and Maslach burnout inventory (MBI). The data were analyzed using nonparametric tests such as Spearman's rank and descriptive and inferential statistical analyses in SPSS software.
Results: Age had a significant positive relationship with burnout; however, its impact on general and spiritual health was insignificant. Gender had a significant negative effect on burnout and a relatively strong positive impact on general health. Education was associated with increased burnout but had lesser effects on general and spiritual health. Job commitment significantly reduced burnout and showed a positive impact on general and spiritual health. Moreover, control and job challenges had positive effects on general and spiritual health, but their relationship with burnout varied.
Conclusion: This study highlighted the importance of individual and job-related factors in determining levels of burnout, general health, and spiritual health. The findings indicated that increasing job commitment and providing opportunities for control and challenge in the workplace can contribute to improving the general and spiritual health of employees while reducing burnout. |
