Resumen

En este estudio se analiza el síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo desde la perspectiva de los modelos interaccionistas de estrés laboral. Como variables del entorno se han considerado el conflicto de rol, la ambigüedad de rol, y el apoyo social en el trabajo desde el supervisor y desde los compañeros. Como variables de personalidad se han considerado los sentimientos de autoconfianza de los sujetos. La muestra del estudio está compuesta por 95 trabajadores de centros ocupacionales para discapacitados psíquicos. Los análisis de regresión han presentado que la ambigüedad de rol junto con los sentimientos de autoconfianza son predictores significativos de la realización personal en el trabajo, mientras que el conflicto de rol ha resultado un predictor significativo de agotamiento emocional. Se han obtenido efectos significativos de modulación de la autoconfianza para la relación entre la ambigüedad de rol y la realización personal en el trabajo.
