Zusammenfassung:This study draws on data provided by 622 clergy (who completed the Leader Survey within the u.s. Congregational Life Survey) to examine the balanced affect model of work-related psychological health. These data generated a six-item measure of positive affect (Satisfaction in Ministerial Life Index, or simli), generated a six-item measure of negative affect (Emotional Exhaustion in Ministerial Life Index, or eemli), and identified an independent indicator of burnout (the Likelihood of Leaving Ministry Index, or lolmi). Crucially for supporting the construct validity of the notion of balanced affect, the data demonstrated a significant interaction effect between simli and eemli scores on the independent measure of burnout lolmi, showing that the mitigating effects of positive affect on burnout increased with increasing levels of negative affect.
