Health habits, Type A behavior, & job burnout
This study examined the effects of health habits and Type A behavior on psychological health outcomes in the face of work and life stress in a four-month prospective design. Measures of life stress Hassles Inventory), health habits, Type A behavior (Framingham Type A scale), job burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory) and psychological distress (Hopkins Symptom Checklist) were collected for 146 employees.
Analyses of covariance revealed that health habits contributed significant main effects to psychological distress but not any of the job burnout outcomes. Type A behavior, but not life stress or health habits, directly affected both job burnout and psychological distress measures. No interaction effects were observed with respect to either of the psychological health outcome measures used in this study. The implications of the research for employee health promotion programs are discussed.
