Abstract:
The objective of this study was to determine if coping strategies could moderate the relationship between occupational stress and burnout in a sample of police officers. A cross-sectional design was used. A stratified random sample (n=340) was taken of police members in the Western Cape. The Police Stress Invesntory, Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey and COPE questionnaire were administered. Structural equation modelling showed that occupational stress due to job demands and a lack of resources leads to burnout. Two coping strategies were identified, namely avoidance coping and approa

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of organisational culture on job stress and burnout in graded accommodation establishments. The demanding nature of work in the hospitality industry (e.g. long hours and shift work) renders job stress and burnout, a persisting challenge for the industry. Employees that are constantly subjected to a challenging work environment may experience increased levels of job stress and burnout or even leave the industry entirely. The Free State province of South Africa has a well-established hospitality sector, and this investigation shows

Abstract:
Among the various work stress models, one of the most popular has been the job demands-control (JDC) model developed by Karasek (1979 ), which postulates that work-related strain is highest under work conditions characterized by high demands and low autonomy. The absence of social support at work further increases negative outcomes. This model, however, does not apply equally to all individuals and to all cultures. This review demonstrates how various individual characteristics, especially some personality dimensions, influence the JDC model and could thus be considered buffering or moderator

In South Africa the extraordinary high levels of violence and crime, escalating execution and killings of police officers, large number of murders, hijacking, robberies and shootings have created an unusually dangerous and stressful working environment for the members of the South African Police Services (SAPS).

Abstract:
A healthy, productive and motivated police service is an important contributor to the stability and resulting economic growth and development of countries. Burnout is a recognised health risk in law enforcement agencies but notwithstanding the stressful nature of police work, relatively few studies focused on burnout of police officials. For this reason it seems necessary to investigate burnout in the South African Police Service (SAPS) in order to understand and predict this risk factor more effectively.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on police officers’ ‘moonlighting’ in South Africa. Working in security-related fields outside their police job, as bouncers or in private security companies, police officers engage in a space between public and private policing. This chapter shows not only that state and non-state policing practices influence one another, but that each contains an element of the other. Moonlighting is a continuous boundary-crossing between public and private, between state and non-state.

Abstract:
Nurses have been found to experience higher burnout levels compared with other health professionals owing to the nature of their work. High burnout levels among nurses have been attributed to their stressful working environments. Prolonged exposure to work-related stress leading to burnout has negative consequences for job satisfaction and general health of nurses. This has wider implications on the health system, such as high turnover rates and compromised patient care. There is a significant gap in research focusing on the relationship between work-related stress, burnout, job satisfaction and general health of nurses in developing countries such as South Africa. A study exploring the relationships between work-related stress, burnout, job satisfaction and general health among South African nurses over time was conducted in order to inform how best to improve nursing environments while enabling quality nursing practice and patient care. A total of 895 nurses participated in the study at baseline and 277 of these individuals were followed up with a year later. Findings showed that although stress related to security risks in the workplace predicts job satisfaction as well as general health, stress related to patient care and nursing shortages better predict job satisfaction and general health over time. Burnout better predicts job satisfaction than general health over time.

Abstract:
Survivors of gender-based violence engage the state at critical moments in their lives, and it is essential for the state to address a range of their emotional, medical, and legal needs. This chapter examines several such points of contact in South Africa, including the courts, the police, trauma centers, rape crisis centers, and medical facilities. This chapter finds that these institutions are often framed within a prosecution framework. While such carceral approaches are important, they fail to address the larger patterns of structural violence, inequality, and vulnerability that could prevent violence before it occurs. The chapter explores the toll of emotional labor, secondary trauma, and job insecurity faced by volunteers and staff in these institutions. This vulnerability may contribute to high turnover, perpetuating institutional instability.
