Hello everybody!
Today I polemicise on an interesting topic: can one remain motivated and still run into the state of burnout. Spoiler alert: I believe one can. I propose a second theory that, combined with the Job Demands-Resources model (discussed in the previous episode), can explain the phenomenon when someone is highly motivated and her strain is constantly growing. Share your opinion in the comments. Have you observed such situations?

Welcome everybody
In this episode, I talk about one of the theories explaining burnout - the Job Demands and Resources Model by Schaufeile, Demerouti, Bakker, and followers. Of course, in such a short episode I only scratch the surface of the theory. If you would like to know more - leave comments and I'll plan an episode dedicated to this theory.

Welcome!
In this episode, I define burnout. I use two definitions: one by Maslach and followers and one by Schaufeli and followers. We also discuss some of the differences between the two definitions as they have a crucial impact on diagnosing burnout.

Hello and welcome!
Today I make a short episode on some myths about burnout. Some people do confuse burnout with different affective states, illnesses, or other concepts. Although being related, they are not the same. Stress is not burnout, although chronic stress can lead to burnout.
Unfortunately, burnout became a "fashion illness" when some people even intentionally misuse the concept and use the word "burnout" to indicate that they work hard and are even proud of it. In this episode, we shortly talk about it and discuss some concepts that are related to burnout but are not identical to burnout.

Welcome!
I decided to make a new mini-series on Burnout. This topic has become very popular, mainly due to the work from home during COVID-19. The latter changed the way we think about our work and what causes emotional exhaustion.
In the next episodes, we will talk about what burnout is (not), how it appears, how to prevent it, as well as about different antecedents and consequences of burnout.
As I am still developing this mini-series, you can leave a comment or drop me an email if you would like me to include a specific topic in this mini-series.
Good luck!

Welcome,
in this episode, I talk about a simple but powerful combination of a questionnaire and an experiment. With a simple step, you can introduce something all researchers admire - causality. If you simply ask about the two constructs, e.g. self-identity and job satisfaction, you may find a correlation. Yet, what is the cause and what is the consequence? In this episode, I provide you with a simple trick to check it.

Good morning (afternoon, evening - select the appropriate option;)
In my today's episode, I briefly talk about the pros and cons of your own questionnaire development. I also give some advice on how to correctly adopt an existing questionnaire. As many of my students regularly ask me whether they are allowed to develop their own measurements, I shed light on why it might not be a good idea. Of course, it is great training to develop your own measurement. Yet, it is very hard and time-consuming. Yet, it is possible and we have some great scales even from our Bachelors as a part of their final thesis.

Hello everybody!
In my last two episodes, I talked about the reflective and formative measurements of latent constructs. Even though it seems to be easy tin understand which way you approach a latent construct, in real life, it is harder than one would think. I refer to two examples of the known questionnaires.
Below, you find the papers I am referring to during this episode.

Hello and "fröhliche Ostern"!
Today, I present the next episode on the reflective measurement of latent constructs. The reflective measurement is much more popular than the formative one, and there are some reasons for this. I talk about it at the end of the episode.

Welcome!
Today we talk about one of two ways to approach a latent construct, i.e. something that cannot be measured directly (e.g. with a ruler). In social sciences, most concepts of interest are latent constructs, e.g. satisfaction, motivation, organisational capabilities, etc.
In this episode, we talk about less common formative measurements. Actually, even top researchers confuse formative and reflective measures. So, take care - it does matter and the later statistical calculations are different!
