Abstract

The Burnout syndrome (BS), it is considered as a response at the job stress (Ortega & López, 2004), which not only brings negative implications, not only in the labor field, but will compromise the various areas of functioning of the person that have it (Gil-Monte, 2002). Identify the stress of work situations as responsible for at the beginning of BS, is a reductionist view, because also to the organizational variables, personal variables are infringing on people to submit BS (Gil-Monte & Peiró, 1999). The literature considers the engagement as a protector factor against the possibility of BS (Kahn, 1990; Csikzentmihalyi, 1990; Strumpfer, 2003; Hallberg & Schaufeli, 2006) likewise it is considered that the type of coping strategies (CE) used by a person to cope with stressful situations at work, allow or not the presence of the syndrome (Gil-Monte, 2003), these coping strategies are closely linked to personality (Mischel, 2004), hence CE focused on emotion and avoidance could predict the onset of BS ,(while those directed to the problem , they become protective factors (Baron & Kenny, 1986), so establishing a relation between the CE, BS and engagement.
