THE EFFECT OF WORKPLACE LONELINESS ON BURNOUT: THE MODERATING ROLE OF EXTRAVERSION PERSONALITY TRAIT

Öz

Workplace loneliness has garnered increasing attention from both researchers and practitioners recently due to its widespread prevalence and significant negative consequences. The rapid changes in work arrangements following the COVID-19 pandemic have further intensified this interest. However, compared to studies on loneliness in general life, research on workplace loneliness remains limited. Unlike previous studies, this research examines extraversion, a personality trait, as a moderating variable and investigates whether this personality trait impacts the relationship between workplace loneliness and burnout. Based on data collected from 467 employees across Türkiye, the study found that workplace loneliness positively affects burnout; extraversion moderates this effect; and as employees’ extraversion increases, the impact of workplace loneliness on their burnout decreases. In other words, extraverted employees experience less burnout than introverted employees when experiencing loneliness in the workplace. This finding is consistent with research conducted in Canada but contrasts with a study conducted in China. Considering the individualism/collectivism cultural characteristics of the societies in China, Türkiye, and Canada, this study suggests that the moderating factor is not solely extraversion or introversion, but rather whether the personality trait in question is one that is accepted by the society to which the individual belongs.
