Achievement of excellence in the aviation industry largely depends on a highly effective workforce. In the management of organizational behavior, the well-being of employees is essential in the workforce and organization’s outcomes. Despite the roles of occupational burnout in well-being and productivity, not much exist in the global literature that includes the Saudi aviation industry. Our study was designed as a survey to examine the prevalence of occupational burnout in the aviation industry. It involved a sample size of 1051 from different work groups in the industry. Questionnaires that required information on socio-demographics and contained the Maslach and Jackson’s burnout inventory that was adapted for the study were utilized for data collection. A prevalence of 41.7% of occupational burnout was found and it existed by age and work group differences in the sample. The findings are indicative of burnout as a near epidemic that has significant potential to negatively influence employees’ productivity in the industry. Enlarging the scope and inclusion of some other dispositional variables that could enhance impact analysis of occupational burnout may be considered in future researches. Nevertheless, the study has provided empirical basis to raise awareness of occupational burnout for management, scholars and practitioners. It is expected to guide interventions that promote employees’ well-being, and also help to expand the global literature on aviation industry data.

沙特航空业职业倦怠发生率的横断面调查

航空业的卓越成就很大程度上取决于高效的员工队伍。在组织行为的管理中,员工的福祉对于员工队伍和组织的成果至关重要。尽管职业倦怠在福祉和生产力中起着重要作用,但包括沙特航空业在内的全球文献中并没有多少。我们的研究旨在调查航空业中职业倦怠的发生率。它涉及了来自行业不同工作组的1051个样本。需要社会人口统计学信息并包含Maslach和Jackson倦怠清单的问卷(适用于该研究)被用于数据收集。患病率为41。发现职业倦怠的7%是由年龄和工作组差异引起的。这些发现表明职业倦怠是一种近乎流行的疾病,具有极大的潜在负面影响该行业员工生产率的潜力。在将来的研究中,可能会考虑扩大一些可能会增强职业倦怠影响分析的其他处置变量的范围和范围。尽管如此,该研究为提高管理者,学者和从业者的职业倦怠意识提供了经验基础。预计将指导采取措施以促进员工的福祉,并有助于扩大有关航空业数据的全球文献。这些发现表明职业倦怠是一种近乎流行的疾病,具有极大的潜在负面影响该行业员工生产率的潜力。在将来的研究中,可能会考虑扩大一些可能会增强职业倦怠影响分析的其他处置变量的范围和范围。尽管如此,该研究为提高管理者,学者和从业者的职业倦怠意识提供了经验基础。预计将指导采取措施以促进员工的福祉,并有助于扩大有关航空业数据的全球文献。这些发现表明职业倦怠是一种近乎流行的疾病,具有极大的潜在负面影响该行业员工生产率的潜力。在将来的研究中,可能会考虑扩大一些可能会增强职业倦怠影响分析的其他处置变量的范围和范围。尽管如此,该研究为提高管理者,学者和从业者的职业倦怠意识提供了经验基础。预计将指导采取措施以促进员工的福祉,并有助于扩大有关航空业数据的全球文献。该研究为提高管理者,学者和从业者的职业倦怠意识提供了经验基础。预计将指导采取措施以促进员工的福祉,并有助于扩大有关航空业数据的全球文献。该研究为提高管理者,学者和从业者的职业倦怠意识提供了经验基础。预计将指导采取措施以促进员工的福祉,并有助于扩大有关航空业数据的全球文献。
