Validation of a new measure known as the Inner Resources Measure

Validation of a new measure known as the Inner Resources Measure (short form) and to see in what way there is an association between work-related burnout and the predictor variables: Inner Strength Measure, Autonomy, Work Engagement (UWES), Emotional Intelligence (TEIQ), Work-Life Balance(WLB).

Instructions

This is overall idea of structure of introduction section of the research:

“First part – IRM explain what are we perceiving of IRM, a brief review of resilience and persistence issue. Resilience has been around (a couple of citations) and nothing more to prove that resilience was related to better health etc. The trick about this IRM from the measures included hardiness, and resilience which have been around for a while which more like coping-type tools for seeking support. This one is unique as it includes emotional self-efficiency and self-healing. The uniqueness of this model is the more you emotionally self-efficient, the more you can manage for example your anxiety, the propensity to worry and how to take care of yourself and comfort yourself which could make you more resilient. Literature about proactive coping not reactive coping not an emotional reaction but steps to avoid. Recent reading coping and managing emotions.

Here the aim to further validate measure in applied setting which is never done before, plus with a short measure, with those threats.

Part two–One of the top threats to workers’ well-being is burnout. Define what is burnout (a couple of references) and what are the consequences of burnout. Maslach was obviously first to define it….. emotional exhaustion, cognitive overload/ brain fog which is damaging and leads to lots of absence at work (days, months or years). Revisit the issue of burnout, looking at contemporary issues, particularly of WLB relevant because of the pandemic which had a big impact on some people. Some people were taken away from work and may feel less engaged. Now is good time to look at burnout at the current climate.

And then includes the following independent variables brief description for example WLB For example poor WLB known leads to very high work turnover again burnout (reference it) very useful during the pandemic even non-google scholar. Go on about WE which is related to workers’ motivation if take away WE and motivation you end up with depression”.

I tried to structure it that way but it’s still need to restructuring and definitely cutting down word limit to 2250-2300 max. The underlined sentences need rephrasing and structured grammatically correct. Yellow highlighted words and sentences are original texts or words that I could not paraphrase it or put it next to a sentence to see the original sentences if I ended up loosing the meaning. All the changes please, show in red colour text so I can see what it has been done. Red text in capslock is feedback from the suvervisor so please, try revise it accordingly.

Also, ignore the Abstract section for now and it is not part of word limit of 2250-2300.

This is the reference list if needed, its not complete list but the majority of references/ in text citations should be there.
