The purpose of this study is to verify the relationship among areas of worklife,
burnout, and competence of case managers. The study shows that first, workload, reward,
community, fairness are better when the control is deemed more possible. Second, the
organization's priorities and principles are more equivalent to those of the case manager
when reward, community, and fairness are deemed better. Third, there is less emotional
exhaustion when there is less workload. Fourth, there is less exhaustion when the
organization and case manager have matching values. Fifth, higher levels of
depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment lead to decreased competence.
Sixth, although the relationship between emotional exhaustion and competence hasn't
been proven, emotional exhuastion is indeed affecting depersonalization and personal
accomplishment. The study suggests that not only training, but also political and practical
effort to improve areas of worklife and levels of burnout is necessary to obtain higher
competencies.
