Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between success-fearing personality and burnout, and between narcissism and burnout in a sample of 192 staff nurses. Success-fearing personality in nursing was measured by the subscales of The Fear of Success in Nursing Scale (Buscherhof, 1982, 1988). A factor analysis, replicating two of the three subscales, was done on this scale due to the limited use of the instrument. Narcissism was measured by the subscales of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (Raskin & Terry, 1988). Burnout was measured by the Maslach and Jackson Burnout Inventory (1986).
They hypothesis, positing a positive relationship between success-fearing personality in nursing and burnout was partially supported. The subscale of the imposter syndrome loaded on the canonical variate directly with emotional exhausting and depersonalization, and inversely with personal accomplishment.
The research question analyzed the relationship between the dimensions of narcissism and burnout. The significant canonical variate was composed of the entitlement, exploitativeness, and self-sufficiency dimensions of narcissism, and the emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment aspects of burnout.
Canonical correlation were analyzed among the three variables of success-fearing personality in nursing, narcissism, and burnout. Two significant variates emerged. The first was a composite of the imposter syndrome of fear of success in nursing, the entitlement dimension of narcissism, and the emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment aspects of burnout. The second variate was composed of the exploitativeness dimension of narcissism, and the emotional exhaustion, and personal accomplishment aspects of burnout.
Demographic data was related to the study variables. Results were discussed in relation to the literature and to the changing health care environment.
