Objectives:
Burnout is a critical concern in high-stress professions. Aviation engineering case empirical research remains scarce. This study investigates various determinants of burnout among aviation engineers, aiming to inform targeted interventions that enhance workforce and operational safety.
Method:
This study surveyed 99 aviation engineers using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory. Statistical analyses included analysis of variance and Spearman correlation to examine associations between burnout and various factors.
Results:
The mean Oldenburg Burnout Inventory score was 39.56 (disengagement was 18.57, and exhaustion was 20.59). Age negatively correlated with exhaustion, suggesting reduced fatigue among older engineers. Academic professionals exhibited lower exhaustion scores with higher job dissatisfaction, highlighting unique stressors in academic settings.
Conclusion:
Aviation engineers face moderate burnout. Age and academic roles appear protective against exhaustion, yet dissatisfaction persists. Strategic interventions are essential to mitigate burnout and safeguard aviation safety.
