    Dentist burnout, measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory, is linked to locus of control. Higher emotional exhaustion correlated with external locus of control, while personal accomplishment linked to internal locus of control.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health Psychology
    • Psychology of Work

    Background:

    • Professional burnout is a significant issue in high-stress occupations.
    • Locus of control, an individual's belief about the causes of events, may influence burnout experiences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the correlation between burnout dimensions and locus of control among dentists.
    • To understand how personal beliefs about control impact occupational stress in dental professionals.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) to assess burnout.
    • Employed the Adult Nowicki-Strickland Internal-External Locus of Control (ANS-IE) scale.
    • Analyzed data from 82 dentists using Pearson correlation coefficients.

    Main Results:

    • A significant negative correlation was found between Personal Accomplishment (MBI subscale) and externality (ANS-IE), r = -.31.
    • A significant positive correlation was observed between Emotional Exhaustion (MBI subscale) and externality (ANS-IE), r = .21.

    Conclusions:

    • Dentists with a more external locus of control tend to report lower personal accomplishment.
    • Increased emotional exhaustion in dentists is associated with a more external locus of control.
    • Findings suggest locus of control is a relevant factor in understanding and potentially mitigating dentist burnout.
