Abstract

Professionals in the mental health field frequently experience high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout & the symptoms show up as emotional weariness, overload or tiredness, depersonalization, and a negative self-perception. Standardized scales were used to measure occupational commitment, burnout & workplace stress among mental health professionals. Clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, and counselors within the age range 23-40 years were among the mental health professionals considered. Results found that organizational commitment is significantly positively correlated to personal accomplishment and significantly negatively correlated to workplace stress and emotional exhaustion. Strategies for reducing stress and burnout at workplace may benefit them which include being under supervision, support groups and self-care measures in addition to assistance provided by the organization.
