Abstract:
Effective and efficient delivery of work output by employees is very imperative in
every organization. However, this is not too feasible when requirements for the wellbeing
of the employees are not met, and it becomes more problematic when it has
adverse effect in their lives. The study, therefore, examined the relationships among
compassion satisfaction, burnout, and employee well-being of teachers in the Tema
metropolis of Ghana. A sample of 151 teachers were obtained and used for the study.
The sample was obtained using the non-probabilistic sampling procedure, “purpose”
through a survey questionnaire instrument. Correlational and regression analyses
revealed that there was a significant inverse relationship between burnout and
employee well-being. There was also a statistically significant positive relationship
between compassion satisfaction and employee well-being Moreover, the multiple
linear regression employed revealed that compassion satisfaction and burnout
significantly influence the well-being of employees. It was therefore recommended
that, the well-being must be improved through the adoption of stress coping strategies
including engaging in recreational activities, personal relaxation activities, and
application of reasoning or common sense in execution of tasks, checking eating
habits, regularly visiting the hospital for general check-up, and disengaging in
negative thoughts and negative work attitudes, and developing positive mindset at all
times.
