PMID 37791001WHAT IT FOUND
Rehabilitation therapists who worked mainly for money reported significantly higher burnout than those working for satisfaction.
This association held even after accounting for income, self-esteem, and social support. However, as a cross-sectional survey, it cannot prove that financial motivation causes burnout.
Key findings
01Therapists who cited satisfaction as their primary reason for employment had significantly lower burnout scores (36.75) than those who cited money (52.28).
02The reason for employment was independently associated with burnout tendency in multiple regression analysis, even after adjusting for income, self-esteem, and social network factors.
03The study design is cross-sectional, so it does not establish a temporal or causal relationship between employment reasons and burnout.
