Abstract:
The authors compare the effect of ethics stress to the effect of other stress factors (coworker support, supervisor support, family conflict, dead-end job, task conflict, customers, and company expectations) on employee burnout and fatigue. They collected surveys from 305 customer-contact employees. Regression results indicate that ethics stress predicts both burnout and fatigue. In addition, employee latitude, dead-end job, and supervisor support predict burnout and family conflict and task conflict are associated with fatigue.
