| Summary: | Drawing on the classic model of balanced affect, the Francis Burnout Inventory (fbi) conceptualised good work-related psychological health among religious leaders in terms of negative affect being balanced by positive affect. In the fbi negative affect is assessed by the Scale of Emotional Exhaustion in Ministry (seem) and positive affect is assessed by the Satisfaction in Ministry Scale (sims). A sample of 156 religious leaders (95 men and 61 women) serving with the Roman Catholic Church in Italy completed seem and sims together with an independent measure of wellbeing. The results confirm the hypothesis that high sims scores reduced the negative effects of high seem scores on the independent measure of wellbeing. |
