ABSTRACT

The prominent burnout models overlook cognitive abilities, that is quite surprising when we consider a) the emerging body of evidence suggesting that burnout is negatively associated with cognitive functioning and b) the tremendous positive role of cognitive abilities in the world of work. Thus, in this conceptual paper, drawing inspiration from the cognitive abilities scholarship and the Job Demands-Resources theory (JD-R), we attempt to put forward a model of the role of the general cognitive ability in burnout formation. We challenge the view that burnout merely impairs cognitive functioning. We propose that the cognitive ability decreases burnout by fostering job resources and buffering cognitive job demands but also that the cognitive ability might generate specific types of job demands. Our theoretical elaboration might help to clarify the emerging burnout – cognitive functioning research, offering insights into how and why the cognitive ability, as a type of personal resources within the JD-R framework, might affect burnout. The proposed conceptual model might spark critique and provoke further debate over the role of cognitive abilities in burnout, inspiring new cognitive directions in burnout research.

认知能力——倦怠研究的新方向

摘要

突出的职业倦怠模型忽视了认知能力,当我们考虑 a) 新出现的证据表明职业倦怠与认知功能呈负相关 b) 认知能力在工作世界中的巨大积极作用时,这是非常令人惊讶的。因此,在这篇概念性论文中,我们从认知能力研究和工作需求-资源理论 (JD-R) 中汲取灵感,尝试提出一般认知能力在倦怠形成中的作用模型。我们挑战倦怠只会损害认知功能的观点。我们提出认知能力通过培养工作资源和缓冲认知工作需求来减少倦怠,而且认知能力可能会产生特定类型的工作需求。我们的理论阐述可能有助于澄清新兴的倦怠——认知功能研究,提供关于认知能力作为 JD-R 框架内的一种个人资源如何以及为什么会影响倦怠的见解。所提出的概念模型可能会引发关于认知能力在职业倦怠中的作用的批判和进一步辩论,从而激发职业倦怠研究的新认知方向。
