Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between Work-family conflict, mindfulness and burnout among rescue workers in Southern Punjab. It is a quantitative research study based on a correlational research design. The target population was the rescue 1122 employees from Multan and Bahawalpur Districts of South Punjab. 107 Responses were collected by students through the purposive sampling technique and the data was collected by using the survey method. To attain this objective the instrument used included the Work-family conflict scale, burnout scale, and mindfulness scale.The results of the study indicated that Work-family conflict has a strong positive correlation with burnout and a negative relationship with mindfulness. The research study concludes that work-family conflict is positively correlated with burnout revealing that an increase in this conflict increases burnout among rescue workers. It indicates that work-family conflict is a strong factor related to employees’ burnout in such important emergency services providing organizations. A negative correlation between mindfulness, work-family conflict, and burnout indicates that improved levels of mindfulness are related to lower levels of work-family conflict and burnout. More mindful employees have fewer work-family conflicts and a lower tendency towards burnout. This study is important in highlighting a relationship between the study variables which has added new aspects to the existing literature. Further research work can be done with complex research designs or longitudinal studies can also be designed.
