Relationship between job satisfaction, burnout, and years of experience among Jordanian sign language interpreters

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the level of burnout among Jordanian sign language interpreters and its correlation with job satisfaction and experience. The descriptive correlative approach was adopted, and after applying the tools and collecting the data, the Maslash scale was used to measure the level of burnout, and the job satisfaction scale was used to measure the level of job satisfaction. Appropriate statistical methods were employed, and the following findings were reached: 1- The overall level of fatigue was average. 2- The degree of overall job satisfaction was about average. There are statistically significant differences in the degree of burnout based on the variable number of years of experience, as burnout increases as experience increases. 4- There is a statistically significant negative inverse relationship between total burnout and total job satisfaction, as the degree of job satisfaction decreases as burnout increases.
