Overtime. Pushing for a spot on the team. Gotta make the billable hours. No Pain, No Gain. Have to make the grade. These behaviors may ring too true for many, and they come with potentially fantastic reinforcers but how costly are these behaviors in the long run? It’s not uncommon these behaviors can signal burnout is on the horizon. And that’s ok. It’s understandable! Behavior is a product of the environment, multiple contingencies, competing reinforcement and burnout can be analyzed and addressed through multiple behavior analytic lenses. In this LIVE event we’re meeting with Dr. Julie Slowiak, PHD, BCBA-D, and Founder of InJewelLLC, to talk about her behavior analytic exploration and how it’s lead her to investigate the burnout phenomenon that is pervasive across environments and people.
Julie’s current research interests focus on issues related to worker wellbeing, particularly within human service professions, and specifically as they relate to personal and professional self-care and burnout. In addition, she is interested in issues related to psychological safety in sport and how it affects both student-athlete mental health and coach burnout. And further still! exploring organizational factors that influence wellbeing and sustained employment of those with invisible and episodic chronic health conditions. Burnout is pervasive across environments, organizations, and people. Some will experience burn out during school, pushing hard to get the grade. Others in their job with trying to meet all the billing requirements. Yet others will experience burn out as a caregiver; caring for another individual can take a lot of energy and time, with little down time to “recharge”.
So schedule some down time for yourself and register to hear Julie’s discussion about observing, preventing, and working through burnout using a variety of behavioral techniques and methods.
Learning Objectives:
1. Compare and contrast IO-Psych and OBM and describe ways to translate between the two fields.
2. Describe the scientist-practitioner model and how it can be applied to BCBAs and behavior analysts.
3. Describe burnout within a behavioral framework and provide examples of internal and external contextual variables that can contribute to this phenomenon.
Take Aways- your bite-sized educational noms
- Both IO-Psych and OBM seek to solve a similar problem: making an organization more effective, efficient, productive, but there are some differences: conceptual and methodological processes, research methodology and strategies.
- Someone who has a strong foundation in the science of behavior analysis is going to have an easier time understanding and interpreting other research through that behavior analytic lens. Improved fluency in the science is beneficial when interpreting other research and creating effective programs.
- Burnout occurs for a variety of reasons, environments, and is unique to the individual. It’s important to have a level of self-awareness- learning to observe when behaviors start to shift and the private events (eg emotional responding, thought patterns) that come with and then making adjustments. Julie comments that it’s easy to analyze all the other contingencies (eg clients) but applying the science to one’s self can be uncomfortable but for health reasons, necessary.
