Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Objective To verify whether emotional work (emotional demands, emotional dissonance) affects both the leader and the subordinate (dyad) in the manifestation of the Burnout Syndrome in military police officers. Method Participants were 76 dyads (leader-subordinate) who answered a questionnaire with sociodemographic and work data, the Spanish Burnout Inventory, a subscale of the Work Experience and Assessment Questionnaire and a subscale of the Frankfurt Emotion Work Scale. Analyses were performed using the player-partner interdependence model through path analysis. Results It was found that emotional dissonance predicts Burnout Syndrome in leaders. In subordinates, the prediction of the syndrome was based on the variables emotional dissonance of leaders as well as on the emotional dissonance, and emotional demands. The results show that there is a cross-relationship in the dyad between emotional dissonance and Burnout Syndrome. Conclusion Institutional initiatives are required to avoid the negative consequences of emotional labor.
