Характеристики эмоционального выгорания и увлеченность форумными ролевыми играми у менеджеров
The article is devoted to the problem of the relation between the characteristics of managers’ burnout and their forum-role-playing-games enthrallment. Employees experiencing burnout often use unconstructive ways of coping such as addictive behavior (which includes computer games enthrallment) as well as other forms of deviant behavior. A random sample of 59 Russian-speaking managers around the world completed surveys that included the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Chen Internet Addiction Scale and some other tests as well as demographic questions and questions designed to conduct characteristics of their role-playing activity. They were classified into one of two groups: forum-role-playing and not-forum-role-playing. Results of our study indicated numerous differences of the characteristics of burnout and addiction between these groups. Forum-role-playing managers have more prominent burnout level, but a variety of experiencing by them symptoms is narrower. We’ve also investigated the relationship of various symptoms of burnout to aspects of gaming activity and different types of addictions among managers
