Assessment of the Level of Burnout Syndrome Due to Multiple Roles in University Engineering Professors: Case Study

Burnout syndrome has been studied since the 1970s and remains as relevant topic of study. The objective of this research was to assess multiplicity of roles- educational, researcher and administrative- related to burnout among faculty engineering members of public university northwest Mexico. This study is a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional method technique. The instrument was applied to a representative sample of 62 full time professors and academic technicians, with a 90% confidence level and 10% margin of error, obtaining 0.952 for the Alpha Cronbach coefficient. The Burnout DOINAD instrument was used focused on multiplicity of roles. Our finding underscores that administrative role induce more burnout syndrome than educational role for the faculty engineering members.
