Leadership Matters: Protective Factors for Burnout in Military Healthcare Workers

This study highlights important sex-based differences in burnout profiles and associated risk and protective factors among military healthcare workers. Findings underscore the critical role of leadership, particularly for female personnel related to EE, although tenure buffered depersonalization in males. These findings highlight the need for tailored burnout prevention strategies, particularly focused on adaptive leadership development and demographic-specific interventions.

Abstract

This study highlights important sex-based differences in burnout profiles and associated risk and protective factors among military healthcare workers. Findings underscore the critical role of leadership, particularly for female personnel related to EE, although tenure buffered depersonalization in males. These findings highlight the need for tailored burnout prevention strategies, particularly focused on adaptive leadership development and demographic-specific interventions.
