This study aims to empirically examine the relationships between burnout and occupational motivation levels of healthcare personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was conducted to explore the healthcare employees’ burnout levels in Erzincan. The number of participants is 350. The study utilizes a “socio-demographic information form, burnout scale, and occupational motivation scale”. To investigate the differences between demographic factors based on burnout and motivation levels of healthcare personnel, statistical analyses were conducted using the SPSS program. These analyses were also based on the relationship between burnout and the occupational motivation levels of healthcare personnel. The results determined that burnout and motivation levels of healthcare personnel were affected differently according to their socio-demographic characteristics. It was revealed that female healthcare employees experienced more burnout than males and healthcare employees with lower income levels experienced more burnout. As the age level of healthcare professionals heightens their occupational motivation also heightens. Their occupational motivation increases through the decrease in income level. The results reinforce the Hierarchy of Needs Theory, ERG Theory, Achievement Motivation Theory, Social Cognitive Theory, and Job Resource-Demand Theory. A practical perspective and recommendations are presented for the healthcare professionals in normal and crisis management processes.

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı COVID-19 pandemisinde sağlık çalışanlarının tükenmişlik ve mesleki motivasyon düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkileri ampirik olarak incelemektir. Katılımcılar Erzincan ilinden 350 kişidir. Çalışmada “sosyo-demografik form, tükenmişlik ölçeği ve mesleki motivasyon ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel analizler SPSS programı kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar sağlık çalışanlarının tükenmişlik ve motivasyon düzeylerinin sosyo-demografik özelliklerine göre farklı şekilde etkilendiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Kadın sağlık çalışanları erkeklere göre daha fazla tükenmişlik yaşarken, ayrıca gelir düzeyi düşük olan sağlık çalışanları da daha fazla tükenmişlik yaşamaktadır. Yaş düzeyi arttıkça mesleki motivasyon da artmaktadır. Gelir düzeyindeki düşüşe bağlı olarak mesleki motivasyon da artmaktadır. Sonuçlar İhtiyaçlar Hiyerarşisi Teorisi, ERG Teorisi, Başarı Motivasyonu Teorisi, Sosyal Bilişsel Teori ve İş Kaynak-Talep Teorisi’ni desteklemektedir. Sağlık çalışanlarının normal ve kriz yönetimi süreçlerinde pratik bir bakış açısı ve öneriler sunulmaktadır.
