Abstract
Transformation of modern societies is allowing people to live fast, smart, technology-driven lives. In workplace, it brings flexibility and news business forms. Organizations are dynamic structures, so their pursuit of adaptation and problem solving is constant. At the same time, prolonged job-related availability may eventually result in resentment, reduced satisfaction in performance and exhaustion. Industrial-organizational psychology methods focus on solving such problems and improving quality of life in the workplace. Quality of life is a multidimensional concept [1] that comprises both positive and negative evaluations of life aspects. When applied to a workplace, quality of life can be perceived as work environment that promotes health and security, job satisfaction [2] and professional and personal development. On the other hand, work environment generating excessive stress and leading to long-term emotional, mental and physical exhaustion leads to burnout. Burnout ‘reflects an uneasy relationship between people and their work’ [3a, p. 44] and it is definitely an ultimately real and chronic problem nowadays. While burnout is a serious issue for both organizations and individuals [4], and has been widely studied [3b], it has not been focus of much academic attention in the university context yet. The aim of this paper is, therefore, to examine academic burnout among higher education students in Poland. For the purpose of the study, the Burnout Clinical Subtype Questionnaire – Students Survey was applied on-line for students registered at Polish universities. The survey consists of 12 items in form of statements related to three dimensions of burnout: overload, neglect and lack of development. The paper is also aimed to understand whether university students experienced burnout in any of its dimensions and whether the perception of burnout depended on student professional activity, distance from family home or failed courses.
