Abstract

Background: Exhaustion is a syndrome that is very important for professionals in all sectors. Objective:
The purpose of the work is to quantify the state of stress in a group of employees at Faculty of Science in
Kenitra and to search for determinants.
Methodology: The tests used to evaluate this psychic and organizational behavior, are the burnout test and
perceived stress test. The study was conducted on 70 interviewers of whom 61.3% are male and 38.7% are
female; the average age of respondents is 36.73 ± 1.14 years.
Results: The results of this analysis show that 32.85% of the respondents are in a high state of emotional
exhaustion; 18.57% have a high level of depersonalization and 35.71% have a low achievement. For the
state of stress of the respondents, 22 86% are in a state of perpetual threat and 14.28% are in a perpetual state.
In addition, the results obtained do confirm that the occupational stress and burnout syndrome are strongly
correlated (R2 = 0.791). The results of the multiple regression confirm that the nature of the occupation is a
determining factor in the state of stress (p <0.037).
Conclusion: This study helps to pave the way for important practical consequences for the consideration of
risk factors in order to prevent burnout and guarantee the well-being of employees.
