Crisis Epidemiology of Burnout Syndrome in the US Virgin Islands' Government: The Consequences of COVID-19
Abstract
In recent decades, studies have continued to explore burnout syndrome within various professions. However, there are limited studies on occupational burnout syndrome as an epidemic. Occupational burnout epidemic considers burnout syndrome as a large-scale spread of an occupational disease that impacts employees' health, welfare and performance at a particular period. In the realm of the public sector, there is a need for epidemiological studies on occupational burnout epidemics, specifically in the scope of disasters and crises and US territorial governments. Therefore, this chapter presents a research study on a burnout epidemic that affected the government workforce of the US Virgin Islands (USVI) during COVID-19. An exploratory mixed method design was used to gather empirical evidence. Data was collected from 201 participants working in nine departments/agencies of USVI government. The findings of this research uncovered identifiable symptoms of burnout syndrome experienced by USVI government workers during COVID-19 pandemic.
