Resumo(s)
The present study aims to: (I) assess the relationship of burnout, affective commitment and
workplace boredom; (II) evaluate the associations between job design characteristics, boredom and
its dimensions; and (III) understand whether burnout mediates the relationship between job design,
affective commitment and workplace boredom - among a sample of 203 higher education students.
Hypotheses were tested and results supported: (I) the mediating effect of cynicism in explaining
the relationship between task autonomy, task variety, task significance, social characteristics and
(i) affective commitment as well as (ii) workplace boredom; and (II) the mediating effect of
professional efficacy in explaining the relationship between task autonomy, task variety, task
significance, social characteristics – on the one hand - and workplace boredom on the other.
Implications and limitations are discussed.
