Effort-reward imbalance and overcommitment are increasingly identified as work-related risk factors for burnout and somatic symptoms. In order to explore the situation in German kindergarten educators, a cross-sectional study based on questionnaire responses from N = 1,933 was carried out. Burnout was found in 24.4% and somatic symptoms in 47.3% of the study participants. Binary logistic regressions were used to identify effort-reward imbalance (OR = 3.75, 95% CI: 2.85–4.95) and overcommitment (OR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.34–1.47) as independent predictors for burnout. Results confirm the high relevance of the effort-reward imbalance concept for the health status of kindergarten educators.

德国幼儿园教育者的工作奖赏失衡与倦怠

努力奖赏的不平衡和过度投入越来越被认为是与工作相关的职业倦怠和躯体症状的危险因素。为了探究德国幼儿园教育者的情况，根据问卷调查结果（N = 1,933）进行了横断面研究。在研究参与者中，有24.4％的人感到倦怠，有47.3％的人有身体症状。二元logistic回归用于确定工作酬劳不平衡（OR = 3.75，95％CI：2.85–4.95）和过度投入（OR = 1.41，95％CI：1.34–1.47）是倦怠的独立预测因子。结果证实了努力奖励失衡概念与幼儿园教育者的健康状况高度相关。
