Question

3. Recent research has shown that lecturers are among the most stressed workers. A researcher wanted to know exactly what it was about being a lecturer that created this stress and subsequent burnout. She recruited 75 lecturers and administered several ajuestionnaires that measured: Burnout (high score - burnt out), Perceived Control (high score - low perceived control), Coping Ability (high score - low ability to cope with stress), Stress from Teaching (high score - teaching creates a lot of stress for the person), Stress from Research (high score = research creates a lot of stress for the person), and Stress from Providing Pastoral Care (high score - providing pastoral care creates a lot of stress for the person). The outcome of interest was burnout, and Cooper's (1988) model of stress indicates that perceived control and coping style are important predictors of this variable. The remaining predictors were measured to see the unique contribution of ifferent aspects of a lecturer's work to their burnout How much variance in burnout does the final model explain for the sample?

Explanation / Answer

sol:

Final model is

burnout=f(constant,coping ability,perceived control,stress from teaching,stress from providing pastoral care)

Final model is the required model as R sq is high and standard error of the estimate is less.

r sq=0.803 SE=6.08191

r sq=0.803

means

0.803*100=80.3% variation in burnout is explained by final model.
