And Give Me Support: How SUNY Institutions Address Employee Experiences of Burnout

Presenter(s)

Conor Matthew Kutner

Description

The purpose of this content analysis study is to uncover how higher education institutions in the State University of New York (SUNY) system offer support to higher education professionals in their employment who experience burnout during the course of their work. With the high attrition and turnover rates of higher education professionals (Rosser & Javinar 2003; Tull, 2006), institutions do not seem to be meeting the needs of their employees. This study will utilize a content analysis approach to systematically review the publicly-available literature such as employee handbooks, human resource websites, and employee wellbeing services websites from SUNY system institutions (n = 10). This study seeks to identify a multi-dimensional method (Abbott & Baun, 2015) of addressing these issues and needs, of providing support and services to employees, and to offer recommendations on best practices in responding to those need-specific gaps in future research and progress.
