Impact of Emotional Exhaustion and Self-efficacy on the Psychological Well-Being of Child Care Workers in the Philippines

Impact of Emotional Exhaustion and Self-efficacy on the Psychological Well-Being of Child Care... Child care workers are reported to play a significant role in the healing process of children placed under their care. Although research is emerging in the healthcare industry, including children at risk, this vulnerable group continues to be overlooked as a priority research focus. The limited studies on child care workers often focus on burnout and work-related risks. Some studies highlight the importance of looking at positive factors such as self-efficacy and psychological well-being as critical aspects in understanding the experiences of child care workers. This study examines the associations of emotional exhaustion with psychological well-being and self-efficacy in a sample of 100 Filipino childcare workers. Results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses demonstrated that there is a significant negative relationship between emotional exhaustion and psychological well-being and a significant positive relationship between self-efficacy and psychological well-being. However, self-efficacy does not moderate the relationship between emotional exhaustion and psychological well-being. Findings further highlight the important roles of a perceived negative experience, emotional exhaustion, and a positive trait, self-efficacy, on the psychological well-being of Filipino child care workers. Emotional exhaustion and self-efficacy are impacting psychological well-being independent of each other. The implications of these findings on the kind of interventions that target the psychological well-being of childcare workers are discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Psychological Studies Springer Journals

Abstract

Child care workers are reported to play a significant role in the healing process of children placed under their care. Although research is emerging in the healthcare industry, including children at risk, this vulnerable group continues to be overlooked as a priority research focus. The limited studies on child care workers often focus on burnout and work-related risks. Some studies highlight the importance of looking at positive factors such as self-efficacy and psychological well-being as critical aspects in understanding the experiences of child care workers. This study examines the associations of emotional exhaustion with psychological well-being and self-efficacy in a sample of 100 Filipino childcare workers. Results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses demonstrated that there is a significant negative relationship between emotional exhaustion and psychological well-being and a significant positive relationship between self-efficacy and psychological well-being. However, self-efficacy does not moderate the relationship between emotional exhaustion and psychological well-being. Findings further highlight the important roles of a perceived negative experience, emotional exhaustion, and a positive trait, self-efficacy, on the psychological well-being of Filipino child care workers. Emotional exhaustion and self-efficacy are impacting psychological well-being independent of each other. The implications of these findings on the kind of interventions that target the psychological well-being of childcare workers are discussed.
