关于男女倦怠差异的文献在这种关系的强度和方向上产生了不一致的结果。在与组织相关的现象（如工作倦怠）中，缺乏对性别差异的明确认识，经常会产生毫无根据的猜测，这些猜测可能（错误地）影响组织决策。为了解决这个问题，我们对性别和职业倦怠之间的关系进行了荟萃分析，使用了183项研究中的409个效应量。研究结果挑战了人们普遍认为的女性员工比男性员工更容易感到倦怠的观点，相反，女性在情感上比男性更疲惫（delta = 0.10）。而男性比女性更缺乏个性（δ = - 0.19）。虽然这些影响很小，但当转换成重叠百分比统计时，它们实际上是值得注意的。主持人的分析进一步揭示了总体趋势中一些有趣的细微差别，比如美国与欧盟的性别差异更大。相比之下，性别差异在男性类型和女性类型的职业中没有显著差异。我们的分析还建议停止使用整体倦怠措施，因为它们仅与倦怠的情绪耗竭维度高度一致。(C) 2010爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
The literature on male-female differences in burnout has produced inconsistent results regarding the strength and direction of this relationship. Lack of clarity on gender differences in organizationally relevant phenomena, such as work burnout, frequently generates ungrounded speculations that may (mis)inform organizational decisions. To address this issue, we conducted a meta-analysis of the relationship between gender and burnout using 409 effect sizes from 183 studies. Results challenge the commonly help belief that female employees are more likely to experience burnout than male employees, revealing instead that women are slightly more emotionally exhausted than men (delta =.10). while men are somewhat more depersonalized than women (delta = -.19). Although these effects are small, they are practically noteworthy when translated into a percent overlap statistic. Moderator analyses further revealed some intriguing nuances to the general trends, such as larger gender differences in the USA compared to the EU. In contrast, gender differences did not vary significantly in male-typed vs. female-typed occupations. Our analyses also suggest discontinuation of the use of overall burnout measures because they are highly consistent with the emotional exhaustion dimension of burnout only. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
