The authors used a cluster analysis procedure and the Counselor Burnout Inventory (S. M. Lee et al., 2007) to identify professional counselors' burnout types. Three clusters were identified: well-adjusted, persevering, and disconnected counselors. The results also indicated that counselors' job satisfaction and self-esteem were good discriminators between the 3 clusters. Implications for counselors are discussed. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Using the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory (Clark, 2015) my workplace ranks 90, or very healthy. Why it ranks as healthy or civil is that between units of the hospital there is great communication between units, to the extent that is a need on one unit as far as staffing, another unit will offer to help, this is the norm, and not the exception for our hospital. We also feel supported by management during times of crisis, I work in two distinct areas where things can escalate very quickly, .
Discussion 2 Managing Conflict in the WorkplaceHigh-pressure en.docxowenhall46084
Discussion 2: Managing Conflict in the Workplace
High-pressure environments, life-or-death implications, constant change, and long days of exhausting work … It is not surprising that conflicts arise in health care settings. In the fast-paced environment in which nurses work, small differences in decision making, processes, work ethic, and personal characteristics can quickly escalate
As a nurse manager, you need to develop and model skills that effectively address conflict situations. Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, offers sound advice that can be applied to conflict management and resolution. In Habit 4, Think Win-Win, Covey (2004) explains, “[m]any people think in terms of either/or: either you’re nice or you’re tough. Win-win requires that you be both. It is a balancing act between courage and consideration.” Ultimately, how you manage conflict in your setting will determine whether you foster an environment that breeds contempt or one that fosters growth.
Conflict abounds in any workplace; it is a normal part of organizational life. Instead of avoiding or ignoring conflict, the role of the nurse manager is to coach employees through conflict situations and to exercise judgment on how and when to intervene. When managed effectively and focused on substantive issues, conflict can actually lead to better outcomes. However, when interpersonal conflicts go unaddressed, employee morale and engagement–two factors that can seriously impact quality of patient care—will dwindle.
When nurse managers observe employees engaging in toxic or inappropriate workplace behaviors, they must prepare to give difficult feedback. Delivering difficult feedback can be challenging for nurse managers, as they must address employees in a way that is authoritative, supportive, and resolute. One strategy nurse managers can use to deliver difficult feedback is to employ the scripting framework. In this week’s Discussion, you gain experience with using the scripting framework to resolve a conflict situation that you have observed in your past or present workplace.
To prepare
Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the various forms of conflict that can occur in the workplace.
Consider the types of conflict, including bullying, horizontal violence, toxic and disruptive employees, misuse of social media, unbalanced power, harassment, and favoritism, that exist in your current organization or past place of employment.
Select one type of conflict you have observed. How has conflict impacted your work environment? How have nurse mangers attempted to address conflict situations?
Examine the six-step scripting framework for delivering difficult feedback in Chapter 7 of the course text, From Management to Leadership: Strategies for Transforming Health Care. Then, use this framework to script a conversation between you and the employee(s) involved in the conflict situation you selected.
When drafting your script, reflect on how H.

Means-ends analysis is recommended as it combines goal-driven and creative approaches. The role of judgment in problem solving processes and an example for the management plan are to be included. Problem solving involves breaking goals into sub-goals and applying appropriate methods. Management teams can acquire problem solving methods through discovery, instruction, or observing examples.

Value of Donated Assets
Which is the proper value to be assigned to certain donated assets? (This is a question for which answers cannot be found in either GASB pronouncements or the text), research is necessary.
A city’s road maintenance department received “donations” of two type of assets:

Myth Clash Paper #1
Zheng Hui
The present paper will discuss how different ancient poets describe the myths. It will compare and Contrast the two versions of the myth of the Cyclops Polyphemus in the Archaic Greek poet Homer’s Odyssey (EH 298-314) and in the Hellenistic poet Theocritus' poem (Idyll 11) (ACM 399-401). It will also elaborate how Roman poet Ovid combine elements from each of these earlier poets’ versions to make his own version of the myth in his poem, the Metamorphoses (OM 374-381). In general, the paper will discuss and analyze the differences and similarities among several versions from different aspects including characters, features, techniques and others.
According to ancient Greek myth, there were three separate tribes of the mythical, one eyed giants known as Cyclops, or Cyclopes. One of them is the Ouranian Cyclopes, who was the offspring of Gaea and Ouranos. Besides, there is also another Cyclops called the mason-Cyclopes, who represents workers in Hephaestus’s forge. The third one is the shepherd-like Cyclopes, who was neighbors of the island-dwelling Polyphemus, who was a son of Poseidon (Weinstock, 2013). Based on the description of the Cyclopes in the ancient Greek myth, one feature that is present in all these Cyclopes is that they had one unique anatomy. In addition, they all had a single round eye in the middle of their foreheads. In fact, the eye, according to the Greek poet Hesiod, is the source of their name.
In Greek, Cyclops means “circle-eye.” These giants .

The document discusses California becoming the first state to pass a law in 1999 legalizing electronic contracts and signatures. The law aims to ensure electronic contracts and signatures have the same legal standing as paper contracts. However, the law only applies when parties agree in advance to electronic transactions and excludes some transactions like wills and certain consumer protection agreements. While the law will significantly impact contract law in California and nationwide, its full effects remain to be determined through future legal cases involving electronic contracts.

· WEEK 1: Databases and SecurityLesson
· Databases and Security
Databases are in just about everything we use today. When you are performing any task, think to yourself, Does this involve a database in some way?
As a daily process, communication occurs between people by many mediums, but there is no other medium more utilized than the large internetwork of computer systems we know as the Internet. When we look at some of the transactions that are performed on a daily basis, it is highly likely that there is a database involved. For example, if you open a web page to www.google.com and type a keyword in the textbox to search for, this process starts a series of searches through multiple databases. Another example is when searching for a book in the APUS library, this search is conducted using a database of books known as a catalog. so databases play an integral part in our daily lives; they store millions of pieces of data and more is collected each day (Basta, 2012).
In recent years, we find that technology has expanded to the reaches of utilities and production environments. Many of the utilities we come to rely on so heavily, such as gas, oil and electric, have been tied into the networks we use today. This interconnection allows for many new innovations in keeping everything in working order, but at the same time it also presents some very real threats to security. In reality, an intruder could take down an entire electrical grid which would remove power to millions of customers. An article in CIO Insight gives a great perspective on this and other issues in security where databases play such an important role (CIOInsight, 2011).
With the importance of securing the database infrastructure, we need to look at a multilayered approach to security. As can be seen in many security programs, multiple layers allow for strong security because it adds another roadblock that an intruder has to bypass to get to these systems. This same approach leads us to begin with the foundation of security; the CIA Triad. It all begins with the most basic approach, computer security and moves forward from that point on. Below is a detailed description of the components of the CIA Triad from (Basta, 2012):
· Confidentiality: For a system to provide confidentiality, it needs to do two things: ensure that information maintains its privacy by limiting authorized access to resources; block unauthorized access to resources.
· Integrity: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedure, and design in order to create and maintain reliable, consistent, and complete information and systems.
· Availability: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedures, and design to maintain the accessibility of resources on a network or within a database. These resources include, but are not limited to, data, applications, other databases, computers, servers, applications, files, drives, shares, and network access.

· Unit 4 Citizen Rights
INTRODUCTION
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the assertion that "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others" signals the breakdown of any semblance of a fair society. We have probably all experienced it: a situation where someone who was better connected, more influential, or in a position of power could advance far beyond the position or actions of the common person. On a typical day, this happens in travel, restaurant seating, the selection of a church pew, and the line at the grocery store.
It should not, however, happen in our public services. As citizens, we all have rights, and we all have the same rights. That is the beauty of the United States's democratic government structure, and perhaps one of the most cherished aspects of it. Economic and social diversity aside, when we interact with the government, we expect to receive the same treatment, whether we are a Rockefeller or a plumber. The reality is that this balance of citizen rights is difficult to achieve, because in many cases, those wielding power and influence attempt to trump equity.
TOGGLE DRAWERHIDE FULL INTRODUCTION
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citizens give allegiance to a nation and receive protection offered by that nation. Citizens therefore have certain privileges in the eyes of the nation, such as the right to vote, to pay taxes, and to refuse certain actions, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it refers to God. There are benefits and entitlements that the citizen can demand from the government. These rights are balanced by responsibilities, such as upholding the law, participating in government, and engaging in the same privileges previously mentioned.
In this unit, issues of the middle class, the welfare state, and what constitutes citizenship will be examined based on the concept of citizen rights.

In such a situation, superior management and business managers do have worries concerning information systems. Auditing is a methodical process by which a proficient, independent person impartially obtains and assesses evidence concerning assertions about a financial entity or occasion for the reason of outlining an outlook about and reporting on the extent to which the contention matches to an acknowledged set of standards. Auditing of information systems is the administration controls assessment inside the communications of Information Technology. The obtained proof valuation is used to decide if systems of information are defensive assets, maintenance reliability of data, and also if they are efficiently operating in order to attain organization’s goals or objectives (Hoelzer, 2009). Auditing of Information Systems has become an essential part of business organization in both large and small business environments. This paper examines the preliminary points for carrying out and Information system audit and some of the, techniques, tools, guidelines and standards that can be employed to build, manage, and examine the review function.

· Part I Key Case SummaryThis case discusses the Union Carbid.docxLynellBull52
· Part I: Key
Case Summary
This case discusses the Union Carbide gas leak that occurred in Bhopal, India in 1984. Over five thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were injured after water inadvertently mixed with methyl isocyanate (MIC) causing the release of a deadly gas. The plant in Bhopal was a pesticide production facility that served the increasing demand of India’s thriving farming industry. However, uncontrolled zoning allowed the plant to be built within close proximity to a densely populated region. While the plant was initially profitable, market changes negatively impacted revenue forcing budget cuts that led to the decay of maintenance and safety practices. There are several theories as to why the incident occurred such as a disgruntled employee’s maliciousness or an accidental contamination. Over several years, Union Carbide paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to the survivors and ultimately ceased to exist, while the community continues to struggle with the aftermath of the disaster.
Main Critical Issues (the list):
· India’s officials adopted careless zoning practices and allowed the construction of the plant near dense population.
· The proper safety procedures were not followed and the equipment was not being properly utilized as designed. UCIL managers placed a higher weight on cost cutting than on safety, resulting in the reduction of maintenance and safety practices.
· Union Carbide Corp. did not require frequent reporting from its subsidiary in India (UCIL), which allowed malpractices and unsafe systems in the Bhopal plant to go unnoticed.
· Union Carbide Corporation and UCIL had an ethical obligation to warn the surrounding community of potential dangers of living close to the pesticide plant
· If the case, the disgruntled employees action to sabotage the plant to take vengeance
· Employees and supervisors in the Bhopal plant did not follow numerous policies and routines that could have prevented the tragedy (e.g. acting upon the alarming increase in the tank pressure, instead of postponing it to after the tea break).
· The residents were not informed of what actions to take in the event of a toxic leak or accident.

SYNCRETISM AND ITS SYNONYMS: REFLECTIONS ON CULTURAL MIXTURE by CHARLES STEWART
(If you would like to read the article from which this excerpt was taken, you can find it in Doc Sharing.)
The subject matter of anthropology has gradually changed over the last twenty years. Nowadays ethnographers rarely search for a stable or original form of cultures; they are usually more concerned with revealing how local communities respond to historical change and global influences. The burgeoning literature on transnational flows of ideas, global institutions, and cultural mixture reflects this shift of attention. This increased awareness of cultural penetration has, furthermore, been instrumental in the critique of earlier conceptions of “culture” that cast it as too stable: bounded, and homogeneous to be useful in a world characterized by migrations (voluntary or forced), cheap travel, international marketing, and telecommunications… In this body of literature the word syncretism has begun to reappear alongside such related concepts as hybridization and creolization as a means of portraying the dynamics of global social developments.
My purpose in considering the history of syncretism up to the present is not to enforce a standard usage conformed to the domain of religion; nor is it my goal to promote syncretism to a position of primus inter pares in the company of all other terms for mixture. I see my approach instead as an attempt to illustrate historically that syncretism has an objectionable but nevertheless instructive past…
Current Discussions of Mixture
Cultures, if we still wish to retain this term (and I do), are porous; they are open to intermixture with other, different cultures and they are subject to historical change precisely on account of these influences. This has no doubt always been the case…
Cultural borrowing and interpenetration are today seen as part of the very nature of cultures… To phrase it more accurately, syncretism describes the process by which cultures constitute themselves at any given point in time. Today's hybridization will simply give way to tomorrow's hybridization, the form of which will be dictated by historical-political events and contingencies… As [Edward] Said expresses it: all cultures are involved in one another, none is simple and pure, all.

Government and Not-For-Profit Accounting
Value of Donated Assets
Which is the proper value to be assigned to certain donated assets? (This is a question for which answers cannot be found in either GASB pronouncements or the text), research is necessary.
A city’s road maintenance department received “donations” of two type of assets:
1. From the county in which the city is located it received earthmoving equipment. The equipment had cost the county $800,000 when it was acquired five years earlier. Accounted for in a county proprietary fund, its book value, net of accumulated depreciation at the time of donation, was $500,000. Its fair market value was $530,000.
2. From the city’s own utility fund (a proprietary fund) it received motor vehicles that had cost the city $400,000 when acquired three years earlier. At the time of transfer, the vehicles were recorded on the utility’s books at $180,000, net of accumulated depreciation. Their fair market value was #225,000.
Write a 1000 word, APA you answer style paper where the following:
1. At what value should the city record in its government-wide financial statements for: (1) the earth-moving equipment, and (2) the motor vehicles?
1. Briefly justify your response, commenting on any apparent inconsistencies in the values assigned to each of the two types of assets.
1. Comment on the significance of the resultant book values for decisions or assessments to be made by statement users.
Myth Clash Paper #1
Zheng Hui
The present paper will discuss how different ancient poets describe the myths. It will compare and Contrast the two versions of the myth of the Cyclops Polyphemus in the Archaic Greek poet Homer’s Odyssey (EH 298-314) and in the Hellenistic poet Theocritus' poem (Idyll 11) (ACM 399-401). It will also elaborate how Roman poet Ovid combine elements from each of these earlier poets’ versions to make his own version of the myth in his poem, the Metamorphoses (OM 374-381). In general, the paper will discuss and analyze the differences and similarities among several versions from different aspects including characters, features, techniques and others.
According to ancient Greek myth, there were three separate tribes of the mythical, one eyed giants known as Cyclops, or Cyclopes. One of them is the Ouranian Cyclopes, who was the offspring of Gaea and Ouranos. Besides, there is also another Cyclops called the mason-Cyclopes, who represents workers in Hephaestus’s forge. The third one is the shepherd-like Cyclopes, who was neighbors of the island-dwelling Polyphemus, who was a son of Poseidon (Weinstock, 2013). Based on the description of the Cyclopes in the ancient Greek myth, one feature that is present in all these Cyclopes is that they had one unique anatomy. In addition, they all had a single round eye in the middle of their foreheads. In fact, the eye, according to the Greek poet Hesiod, is the source of their name.
In Greek, Cyclops means “circle-eye.” These giants .

The document discusses California becoming the first state to pass a law in 1999 legalizing electronic contracts and signatures. The law aims to ensure electronic contracts and signatures have the same legal standing as paper contracts. However, the law only applies when parties agree in advance to electronic transactions and excludes some transactions like wills and certain consumer protection agreements. While the law will significantly impact contract law in California and nationwide, its full effects remain to be determined through future legal cases involving electronic contracts.

· WEEK 1: Databases and SecurityLesson
· Databases and Security
Databases are in just about everything we use today. When you are performing any task, think to yourself, Does this involve a database in some way?
As a daily process, communication occurs between people by many mediums, but there is no other medium more utilized than the large internetwork of computer systems we know as the Internet. When we look at some of the transactions that are performed on a daily basis, it is highly likely that there is a database involved. For example, if you open a web page to www.google.com and type a keyword in the textbox to search for, this process starts a series of searches through multiple databases. Another example is when searching for a book in the APUS library, this search is conducted using a database of books known as a catalog. so databases play an integral part in our daily lives; they store millions of pieces of data and more is collected each day (Basta, 2012).
In recent years, we find that technology has expanded to the reaches of utilities and production environments. Many of the utilities we come to rely on so heavily, such as gas, oil and electric, have been tied into the networks we use today. This interconnection allows for many new innovations in keeping everything in working order, but at the same time it also presents some very real threats to security. In reality, an intruder could take down an entire electrical grid which would remove power to millions of customers. An article in CIO Insight gives a great perspective on this and other issues in security where databases play such an important role (CIOInsight, 2011).
With the importance of securing the database infrastructure, we need to look at a multilayered approach to security. As can be seen in many security programs, multiple layers allow for strong security because it adds another roadblock that an intruder has to bypass to get to these systems. This same approach leads us to begin with the foundation of security; the CIA Triad. It all begins with the most basic approach, computer security and moves forward from that point on. Below is a detailed description of the components of the CIA Triad from (Basta, 2012):
· Confidentiality: For a system to provide confidentiality, it needs to do two things: ensure that information maintains its privacy by limiting authorized access to resources; block unauthorized access to resources.
· Integrity: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedure, and design in order to create and maintain reliable, consistent, and complete information and systems.
· Availability: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedures, and design to maintain the accessibility of resources on a network or within a database. These resources include, but are not limited to, data, applications, other databases, computers, servers, applications, files, drives, shares, and network access.

· Unit 4 Citizen Rights
INTRODUCTION
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the assertion that "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others" signals the breakdown of any semblance of a fair society. We have probably all experienced it: a situation where someone who was better connected, more influential, or in a position of power could advance far beyond the position or actions of the common person. On a typical day, this happens in travel, restaurant seating, the selection of a church pew, and the line at the grocery store.
It should not, however, happen in our public services. As citizens, we all have rights, and we all have the same rights. That is the beauty of the United States's democratic government structure, and perhaps one of the most cherished aspects of it. Economic and social diversity aside, when we interact with the government, we expect to receive the same treatment, whether we are a Rockefeller or a plumber. The reality is that this balance of citizen rights is difficult to achieve, because in many cases, those wielding power and influence attempt to trump equity.
TOGGLE DRAWERHIDE FULL INTRODUCTION
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citizens give allegiance to a nation and receive protection offered by that nation. Citizens therefore have certain privileges in the eyes of the nation, such as the right to vote, to pay taxes, and to refuse certain actions, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it refers to God. There are benefits and entitlements that the citizen can demand from the government. These rights are balanced by responsibilities, such as upholding the law, participating in government, and engaging in the same privileges previously mentioned.
In this unit, issues of the middle class, the welfare state, and what constitutes citizenship will be examined based on the concept of citizen rights.

As in past years, computer systems do not simply record transactions of business, but essentially drive the main business procedures of the enterprise. In such a situation, superior management and business managers do have worries concerning information systems. Auditing is a methodical process by which a proficient, independent person impartially obtains and assesses evidence concerning assertions about a financial entity or occasion for the reason of outlining an outlook about and reporting on the extent to which the contention matches to an acknowledged set of standards. Auditing of information systems is the administration controls assessment inside the communications of Information Technology. The obtained proof valuation is used to decide if systems of information are defensive assets, maintenance reliability of data, and also if they are efficiently operating in order to attain organization’s goals or objectives (Hoelzer, 2009).

· Part I Key Case SummaryThis case discusses the Union Carbid.docxLynellBull52
· Part I: Key
Case Summary
This case discusses the Union Carbide gas leak that occurred in Bhopal, India in 1984. Over five thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were injured after water inadvertently mixed with methyl isocyanate (MIC) causing the release of a deadly gas. The plant in Bhopal was a pesticide production facility that served the increasing demand of India’s thriving farming industry. However, uncontrolled zoning allowed the plant to be built within close proximity to a densely populated region. While the plant was initially profitable, market changes negatively impacted revenue forcing budget cuts that led to the decay of maintenance and safety practices. There are several theories as to why the incident occurred such as a disgruntled employee’s maliciousness or an accidental contamination. Over several years, Union Carbide paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to the survivors and ultimately ceased to exist, while the community continues to struggle with the aftermath of the disaster.
Main Critical Issues (the list):
· India’s officials adopted careless zoning practices and allowed the construction of the plant near dense population.
· The proper safety procedures were not followed and the equipment was not being properly utilized as designed. UCIL managers placed a higher weight on cost cutting than on safety, resulting in the reduction of maintenance and safety practices.
· Union Carbide Corp. did not require frequent reporting from its subsidiary in India (UCIL), which allowed malpractices and unsafe systems in the Bhopal plant to go unnoticed.
· Union Carbide Corporation and UCIL had an ethical obligation to warn the surrounding community of potential dangers of living close to the pesticide plant
· If the case, the disgruntled employees action to sabotage the plant to take vengeance
· Employees and supervisors in the Bhopal plant did not follow numerous policies and routines that could have prevented the tragedy (e.g. acting upon the alarming increase in the tank pressure, instead of postponing it to after the tea break).
· The residents were not informed of what actions to take in the event of a toxic leak or accident.
· The employees did not use the emergency buses to evacuate surrounding residents.

SYNCRETISM AND ITS SYNONYMS: REFLECTIONS ON CULTURAL MIXTURE by CHARLES STEWART
(If you would like to read the article from which this excerpt was taken, you can find it in Doc Sharing.)
The subject matter of anthropology has gradually changed over the last twenty years. Nowadays ethnographers rarely search for a stable or original form of cultures; they are usually more concerned with revealing how local communities respond to historical change and global influences. The burgeoning literature on transnational flows of ideas, global institutions, and cultural mixture reflects this shift of attention. This increased awareness of cultural penetration has, furthermore, been instrumental in the critique of earlier conceptions of “culture” that cast it as too stable: bounded, and homogeneous to be useful in a world characterized by migrations (voluntary or forced), cheap travel, international marketing, and telecommunications… In this body of literature the word syncretism has begun to reappear alongside such related concepts as hybridization and creolization as a means of portraying the dynamics of global social developments.
My purpose in considering the history of syncretism up to the present is not to enforce a standard usage conformed to the domain of religion; nor is it my goal to promote syncretism to a position of primus inter pares in the company of all other terms for mixture. I see my approach instead as an attempt to illustrate historically that syncretism has an objectionable but nevertheless instructive past…
Current Discussions of Mixture
Cultures, if we still wish to retain this term (and I do), are porous; they are open to intermixture with other, different cultures and they are subject to historical change precisely on account of these influences. This has no doubt always been the case…
Cultural borrowing and interpenetration are today seen as part of the very nature of cultures… To phrase it more accurately, syncretism describes the process by which cultures constitute themselves at any given point in time. Today's hybridization will simply give way to tomorrow's hybridization, the form of which will be dictated by historical-political events and contingencies… As [Edward] Said expresses it: all cultures are involved in one another, none is simple and pure, all.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

The authors used a cluster analysis procedure and the Counselor
Burnout Inventory (S. M. Lee et al., 2007) to identify
professional counselors' burnout types. Three clusters were
identified: well-adjusted, persevering, and disconnected
counselors. The results also indicated that counselors' job
4. satisfaction and self-esteem were good discriminators between
the 3 clusters. Implications for counselors are discussed.
There are many issues that could strain a counselor's physical
and psychological resources - managed care constraints,
increased budget cuts, and burgeoning caseloads - and the
counselor is expected to maintain a sense of equilibrium in
facing these issues while still providing quality therapeutic
services (Kesler, 1990; O'Halloran & Linton, 2000). If not
closely monitored, counselor burnout, conceptualized as a
combination of multiple emotional and physical ailments
manifesting cognitively or within the workplace, could ensue
and jeopardize both the counselor's well-being and treatment
efficacy.
Several descriptions of burnout are found in the professional
literature. Maslach and Jackson (1981) described burnout as a
syndrome distinguished by emotional exhaustion,
depersonalization, and a lack of personal accomplishment. Meir
(1983) described burnout as a "state in which individuals expect
little reward and considerable punishment from work because of
a lack of valued reinforcement, controllable outcomes, or
personal competence" (p. 899). More recently, Osborn (2004)
noted similar elements when describing burnout as "the process
of physical and emotional depletion resulting from conditions at
work or, more concisely, prolonged job stress" (p. 319). Given
the myriad stressors inherent in any therapeutic endeavor, it is
not surprising that the phenomenon of burnout has generated
considerable interest among counseling researchers within the
past decade (Leiter & Harvie, 1996; Vredenburgh, Carlozzi, &
Stein, 1999). Nor does it seem unusual to find empirical
evidence that burnout exists among professional counselors
(Leiter & Harvie, 1996) or studies that explore the emotional,
physical, and occupational implications of counselors who are
vulnerable to burnout (e.g., Osborn, 2004; Thompson, 1999).
Although most burnout studies concerning counselors have
focused primarily on correlates such as characteristics, work
environments, and client attributes (e.g., Vredenburgh et al.,
5. 1999), research examining specific burnout typologies
experienced among professional counselors remains limited.
More specifically, earlier studies tended to consider counselor
burnout as a homogenous phenomenon with a predictable and
consistent set of symptoms.
Recently, Loo (2004) used the multidimensional construct of
burnout to examine burnout types in police officers. Loo's
study, the first to use a clustering methodology to identify
burnout types, yielded three different patterns: laissez-faire
managers, well-adjusted managers, and distressed managers.
Results from this study revealed three specific burnout types
among police officers, opening the door to the development of
specialized policies and programs that address the unique
burnout patterns among individual officers. In a similar way, a
system of classifying burnout patterns among professional
counselors could generate specific subtypes of burnout that
indicate counselors at risk for burnout. Such a classification
system could also serve as the catalyst for programs aimed at
both the prevention of burnout and, when necessary, the
alleviation of burnout among professional counselors.
The majority of the current research on burnout uses the
Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBIHSS;
Maslach & Jackson, 1984). Although the MBI-HSS provides
some insight regarding counselor burnout, it falls short in
accurately assessing burnout specifically related to counselors.
Therefore, the present study assesses counselor burnout with the
newly developed Counselor Burnout Inventory (CBI; Lee et al.,
2007). In this study, MBI-HSS was used to compare the patterns
derived from the CBI. The CBI provides norm-referenced
measures of a counselor's burnout syndrome on five factorially
derived burnout dimensions: Exhaustion, Incompetence,
Negative Work Environment, Devaluing Client, and
Deterioration of Personal Life. Unique to this inventory is its
focus on the counselor's work environment. This unique
component corresponds with recent counseling burnout
literature that accentuates the role one's workplace environment
6. plays in promoting burnout (Azar, 2000; Maslach, 2005;
Osborn, 2004; Savicki & Cooley, 1981; Thompson, 1999).
To date, the interpretation of a CBI score has been based on the
elevations of individual subscales. However, pattern-based
interpretation with cluster analysis may increase the utility of
CBI scores by capturing potential interactive effects inherent in
score patterns. For example, counselors experiencing exhaustion
or who have begun devaluing the client as a defensive measure
against burnout may, in fact, differ in their ability to manage
their overall burnout levels on the basis of how receptive or
negative they perceive their work environment to be. Thus, the
CBI's ability to provide more detailed burnout profiles could
facilitate the development of preventative programming or
current interventions that could more quickly and accurately
address the counselor's needs. If these different clustering and
counselor burnout patterns are found such information could be
used by support services to help professional counselors cope
effectively with the occupational stresses of counseling.
*Purpose of Study
The purpose of the present study is to determine specific
burnout typologies among professional counselors. First,
because burnout is a multidimensional construct, it is posited
that counselor burnout would display a multiple-cluster
structure rather than a single clustering or type. Second for
cross-validation purposes, we hypothesized that the identified
clusters would be consistent with the existing burnout measure,
that is, the MBI-HSS. Third because there are several known
demographic variables linked to burnout, we categorized
demographic variables that appear to best ^scriminate between
the clusters. Finally, because previous studies (Cordes &
Dougherty, 1993; Gold & Michael, 1985; Vredenburgh et al.,
1999) have related burnout to other psychological variables
such as job satisfaction, self-esteem, and locus of control, we
have identified the psychological variables that best contributed
to the cluster differences.
* Method
7. Participants
Convenience sampling procedures were used to distribute 1 70
research packets at a state counseling association conference in
the southeastern region of the United States. After excluding
incomplete packets, 1 32 of 1 70 research packets were included
in the statistical analysis. The sample included counselors with
a wide range of specialties. Nine percent were family
counselors, 43.2% were school counselors, 25.3% self-identified
as mental health counselors, 7.6% were college counselors,
4.1% were rehabilitation counselors, 1.5% self-identified as
career counselors, and 9.3% provided multiple responses. The
years of experience ranged from 1 year to 33 years (M =
11.31,5!D= 8.37). Women made up the majority of the sample
(83.3% women vs. 16.7% men). Regarding ethnicity, 94.7% of
the participants were Caucasian, 3% were African American,
1.5% were Hispanic, and 0.8% provided multiple responses.
Counselors' ages ranged from 25 years to 67 years (M= 46.20,
SD= 11.37).
Measures
CBI. The CBI consists of 20 items that are divided into five
subscales: Exhaustion (e.g., "I feel exhausted due to my job as a
counselor"), Incompetence (e.g., "I do not feel like I am making
a change in my clients"), Negative Work Environment (e.g., "I
feel frustrated with the system in my workplace"), Devaluing
Client (e.g., "I am not interested in my clients and their
problems"), Deterioration in Personal Life (e.g., "My
relationships with family members have been negatively
impacted by my work as a counselor"). Each item has a 5point
response scale (1 = never true, 5 = always true). The CBI
contains items reflecting characteristics of feelings and
behaviors that would indicate various levels of burnout. Lee et
al. (2007) reported that alpha coefficients of scores were .80 for
the Exhaustion, .83 for the Negative Work Environment, .83 for
the Devaluing Client, .81 for the Incompetence, and .84 for the
Deterioration in Personal Life subscales. Support for construct
validity was obtained through exploratory factor analysis that
8. identified a five-factor solution and confirmatory factor analysis
with all goodness-of-fit indexes also indicating an adequate fit
to the data (Lee et al., 2007). In the present study, Cronbach's
alpha coefficients of scores were .85 for the Exhaustion, .83 for
the Negative Work Environment, .80 for the Devaluing Client,
.73 for the Incompetence, and .78 for the Deterioration in
Personal life subscales.
MBI-HSS. The MBI-HSS (Maslach & Jackson, 1981) was
designed to measure hypothesized aspects of the burnout
syndrome. The MBI contains 22 statements of job-related
feelings and asks participants to rate the frequency of the
statements (0 = never, 6 = every day). The MBI consists of
three subscales: Emotional Exhaustion (e.g., "I feel used up at
the end of the workday"), Depersonalization (e.g., "I do not
really care what happens to some recipients"), and Personal
Accomplishment (e.g., "I have accomplished many worthwhile
things in this job"). The reliability and validity of the MBI-HSS
are well established (Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1996).
According to Maslach et al. (1996), reliability coefficients for
each of the subscale scores are .90 for Emotional Exhaustion,
.79 for Depersonalization, and .71 for Personal
Accomplishment. Convergent validity has been established
using three sets of correlations (Maslach et al., 1996). In the
present study, reliability coefficients for each of the subscale
scores were .89 for Emotional Exhaustion, .69 for
Depersonalization, and .75 for Personal Accomplishment.
Job satisfaction. Seven items of job satisfaction that were
identified in the National Educational Longitudinal Study (see
National Center for Educational Statistics [NCES], 2002) were
used in this study. A seven-item scale of job satisfaction,
derived from items identified in the National Educational Study,
was used in this study. The scale also measured satisfaction
with fringe benefits, opportunities for further training, job
security, opportunities for promotion, opportunities to use past
training, importance and challenge of the work, and payment
(NCES, 2002). According to Nguyen, Taylor, and Bradley
9. (2003), the logit regression indicated that overall job
satisfaction was highly significantly related to all individual
domains of job satisfaction. Participants were asked to rate,
using a Likert-type scale ( 1 = very dissatisfied, 5 = very
satisfied), how satisfied they were with their jobs. In the present
study, internal consistency for the scores of all seven items was
.81, which suggests a high degree of consistency across items.
Self-esteem. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1
965) was developed in an attempt to achieve a unidimensional
measure of global self-esteem. Even though the scale was
developed 40 years ago, continued use of this scale provides
evidence of its reliability and validity (Vacha-Hasse, Kogan, &
Thompson, 2000). According to Owens (2001), the Rosenberg
Self-Esteem Scale is the most widely used measure of
selfesteem. Items on the scale are rated on a 5-point Likert scale
ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Originally
developed for the adolescent population, the scale has a
Guttman scale reliability coefficient of .92 among youth. It has,
however, been useful for assessing self-esteem in a variety of
other groups (Mental Health Statistics Improvement Program, 1
996), with test-retest correlations in the range of .82 to .88 and
Cronbach's alphas for various samples in the range of .77 to .88
(Rosenberg, 1986). In the present study, internal consistency for
the scores of all seven items was .73, suggesting a moderately
high degree of consistency across items.
Locus of control. Locus of control represents the extent to
which students feel they have control over their life (Rotter,
1966). A person with a high (internal) locus of control feels that
he or she makes things happen in life, whereas a person with a
low locus of control believes that luck or someone or something
else is responsible for what happens to him or her. Items on the
scale are rated on a 4-point Likert-type scale that ranges from
strongly agree (1) to strongly disagree (4). Rotter's (1966)
Locus of Control Scale (LOC) has demonstrated adequate test-
retest reliability (ranging from .49 to .83) and coefficient alphas
(ranging from .67 to .87) in various studies (Marsh & Richards,
10. 1986; Phillips & Gully, 1997; Rotter, 1966). Construct validity
for the LOC has also been established in a variety of studies
(Collins, 1974; Marsh & Richards, 1987; Rotter, 1966). Internal
consistency of LOC scale scores in the present study was .68,
which suggests a moderate degree of consistency across items.
*Results
Cluster Analysis
First, the five CBI subscale scores were standardized (T score;
M= 50, SD = 1 0). Using a hierarchical agglomerative method
with Ward's minimum variance approach and a line chart from
the coefficients of the agglomeration schedule table, we
identified the optimal number of clusters. This three-cluster
solution was most representative of this sample because of the
meaningful interpretability of the clusters and the clear
separation of the group centroids on the CBI subscales. As
shown in Figure 1, the first cluster (n = 51, 38.6%) was
characterized by low scores on all subscales (Exhaustion,
Incompetence, Negative Work Environment, Devaluing Client,
and Deterioration in Personal Life). Graphically, the shape is
best described as a flat line below the means. This cluster was
labeled well-adjusted counselors (WAC) because of the
counselors' low scores on all burnout subscales.
The second type of cluster was characterized by medium scores
on the Exhaustion, Negative Work Environment, and
Deterioration in Personal Life subscales, with relatively high
Incompetence and high Devaluing Client scores. Most notable
was the Devaluing Client score, which was a full standard
deviation above the mean. About 33% (n = 44) of the cases fit
this cluster pattern. Counselors grouped in this cluster seemed
to be disconnected counselors (DC), that is, counselors
appeared to be not particularly exhausted, but to have
depersonalized from their clients and were unresponsive to their
clients' needs (Savicki & Cooley, 1981). The third cluster type
consisted of high Exhaustion, Negative Work Environment, and
Deterioration in Personal Life scores and moderate to low
scores on the Incompetence and Devaluing Client subscales.
11. This resulted in a W-shaped configuration with 37 (28.0%) of
the cases. This cluster was labeled persevering counselor (PC)
because these counselors had the highest Exhaustion, Negative
Work Environment, and Deterioration in Personal Life scores,
while reporting moderate to low Incompetence and Devaluing
Client scores. In other words, PCs appeared to be flexible and
responsive to client needs even when they experienced
emotional and physical exhaustion in their workplace and
personal life.
Relationship Among the MBI-HSS, Demographic Variables, and
Outcome Variables
Table 1 lists the means and standard deviations for each cluster
group on MBI-HSS subscales, demographic variables (i.e.,
gender, annual income, years of counseling experience, marital
status, and age), and outcome variables (job satisfaction,
selfesteem, and locus of control). Descriptive discriminant
analysis (DDA) was used to identify the variables that
contribute to group separation. In examining the canonical
discriminant functions, there was a large canonical correlation
(.677) on Function 1 with an effect size of R^sup 2^= 45.8%.
There was a second large canonical discriminant (.495) on
Function 2 with an effect size of R2 = 24.5%. Both the full
model test of Function 1 to 2 (Wilks's lambda = .409, χ^sup
2^^sub (22)^ = 88.56,/? < .00 1) and the test of Function 2
(Wilks's lambda= .755, χ^sup 2^^sub (10)^ = 27.86,/? < .001)
were statistically significant. Standardized discriminant
function coefficients and structure coefficients were examined
to determine what variables contributed to the group
differences. Table 1 represents both sets of coefficients for all
analyses.
First, in light of the quantity of research that has been done on
the MBI-HSS, the CBI clusters were compared with the
MBIHSS subscales. Although the Emotional Exhaustion
subscale of the MBI-HSS was primarily responsible for group
differences on Function 1 , the Depersonalization and Personal
Accomplishment subscales of the MBI-HSS were primarily
12. responsible for group differences on Function 2, with
Depersonalization being negatively related to Personal
Accomplishment. Regarding the group centroids (see Table 2),
it appears that on Function 1, Cluster 1 had the lowest centroids
(-1 .03), followed by Cluster 2 (0.20) and Cluster 3(1.17). This
indicated that counselors who belonged to Cluster 1 (WACs)
were less exhausted than Cluster 2 counselors (DCs) and even
more so when compared with Cluster 3 counselors (PCs). On
Function 2, Cluster 2 had the lowest centroids (-.81), followed
by Cluster 1 (.29) and Cluster 3 (.50). This indicated that
counselors who belonged to Cluster 2 (DCs) were more
depersonalized and less accomplished than Cluster 1 counselors
(WACs) and even more so when compared with Cluster 3
counselors (PCs).
Next, we examined whether the three counselor burnout types
were related to known demographic determinants (gender,
annual income, years of counseling experience, marital status,
and age). The ethnicity variable was not included because of the
low rate of minority counselor responses (5.3%). As shown in
Table 1 , although no demographic variables were found to be
responsible for group differences on Function 1, the annual
income variable was somewhat responsible for group
differences on Function 2 ( 1 8.9%). Consistent with the results
from group centroids (see Table 2), the W-shaped Cluster 3
(PCs) reported the highest income ($45,771) followed by WACs
($43,693) and DCs ($39,074). Even though small group
differences (7.7%) were found for years of counseling
experience, it warrants mentioning that PCs (M= 13.15, SD =
7.73) were more experienced than WACs (M= 9.89, SD = 8.95)
and DCs (M= 10.31, SD = 8.13).
Finally, we examined if the three counselor burnout types were
associated with the three psychological variables of job
satisfaction, self-esteem, and locus of control. DDA revealed
that job satisfaction (20.3%) was primarily responsible for
group differences on Function 1 , and self-esteem (30.5%) was
primarily responsible for group differences on Function 2. The
13. Function 1 at group centroids indicated that Cluster 1
counselors (WACs) were more satisfied with their job than were
DCs (Cluster 2) and even more so when compared with PCs
(Cluster 3). In contrast, the results revealed that DCs (Cluster 2)
had lower scores on self-esteem than did Cluster 1 counselors
(WACs) and even lower scores than Cluster 3 (PCs) participants
had.
*Discussion
Although previous research has tended to consider counselor
burnout as a homogenous phenomenon with unitary and global
terms (Farber, 1998), new research (Loo, 2004) indicates the
value of using a system of classifying burnout that is based on
the patterns (types or profiles) that reflect the more consistent
elements of burnout. According to Loo (2004), researchers can
use the patterns derived from a cluster analysis to determine a
treatment plan to prevent burnout. On the basis of our research,
we identified distinct patterns of counselor burnout that
differentially influence counselor's self-esteem, job satisfaction,
and locus of control.
The most common CBI type was indicated by a relatively flat
profile that was characterized by low scores on all subscales
(Exhaustion, Incompetence, Negative Work Environment,
Devaluing Client, and Deterioration in Personal Life). In light
of both its form and its frequency, this is probably best thought
of as a common profile. This cluster was labeled WACs because
of these individuals' low scores on all burnout subscales.
Specifically, counselors fitting this profile scored the lowest on
the Depersonalization and Emotional Exhaustion subscales of
the MBI-HSS and received the highest scores on the Personal
Accomplishment scale of that measure. They also reported the
second highest income ($43,693).This group of counselors
reported the highest job satisfaction. They also reported more
positive self-esteem than did counselors in Cluster 2. This
finding was consistent with previous studies that support the
effect of burnout in helping professions (Osborn, 2004;
Thompson, 1999). Consistent with the findings of previous
14. studies (e.g., Maslach & Jackson, 1 98 1 ), the results of the
present study indicated that counselors who self-identified as
not experiencing burnout were found to have the highest scores
on job satisfaction and higher positive self-esteem.
The second profile (Cluster 2) was the most distinctive and was
characterized by counselors' medium scores on subscales
assessing exhaustion, negative work environment, and
deterioration in personal life with relatively high Incompetence
and high Devaluing Client scores. The Devaluing Client score
was almost a full standard deviation above the mean.
Counselors in this burnout profile seemed to be DCs. Consistent
with this notion is the finding that the counselors in this profile
had higher scores on the Depersonalization scale of the MBI-
HSS than did counselors in Cluster 2 (WACs) and Cluster 3
(PCs). It is also interesting to note that DCs also reported the
lowest income ($39,074), lowest job satisfaction, and the worst
self-esteem.
The final cluster was a W-shaped profile characterized by high
Exhaustion, Negative Work Environment, and Deterioration in
Personal Life scores and moderate to low scores on the
Incompetence and Devaluing Client subscales. This cluster was
labeled PC because these counselors had the highest
Exhaustion, Negative Work Environment, and Deterioration in
Personal Life scores, but reported moderate to low
Incompetence and Devaluing Client scores. Counselors with this
profile tended to be flexible and responsive to the clients'
needs, even when reporting emotional and physical exhaustion
in their workplace and personal life. It is also intriguing to note
that the PCs also reported the highest income, more counseling
experience, and the most positive self-esteem even though they
seemed dissatisfied with their current job. This is consistent
with Lee et al.'s (2007) recent finding that indicates the
Incompetence subscale of the CBI is a better predictor of self-
esteem than are other subscales of the CBI.
Implications for Counselors
The burnout typologies identified in the present study extend
15. the notion of burnout as a multidimensional construct
(Friedman, 1996). Awareness of a counselor's unique burnout
profile could offer significant assistance in uncovering both
individual and environmental contributors to burnout and offer
assistance in devising specific preventative strategies. The CBI
typologies could then be used to develop dedicated preventative
strategies or, in the cases of existing burnout symptoms, aid in
the development of personalized interventions that align with
the contours of the counselor's unique burnout profile.
Additionally, targeted interventions that are based on the
counselor's unique CBI profile could facilitate the development
of "a setting in which the needs of the caregiver are as carefully
nurtured as those of the recipients" (Färber, 1998, p. 13). In
short, insights gleaned from CBI profiles could be used
strategically and/or longitudinally as a means for developing
specific interventions as well as dedicated support service
programs targeting the counselor's total wellness. In doing so,
counselors are better able to maintain their focus on the client
and ultimately, provide opportunities for positive therapeutic
outcomes.
The CBI typologies could also be of significant pedagogical
value. For example, the WAC profile, the most commonly found
counselor burnout type, provides a composite sketch of the
interplay between personal and professional variables among
counselors not experiencing burnout. In effect, the WAC profile
is indicative of counselors who have acquired the skills that
allow them to balance a range of personal and professional
issues while remaining attentive to client needs. Additionally,
building on Pines and Aronson's (1988) suggestion of becoming
"aware of the problem" (p. 27) leading to burnout, WACs could
facilitate informal discussions (e.g., brown bag lunches) with
colleagues that could prove advantageous to preventing or
alleviating burnout symptoms. Insights shared by the WAC may
offer a more pragmatic alternative to structured workshops or
seminars that, while important, likely lack insight into the
nuances of individual agency cultures and/or interpersonal
16. relationships. Essentially, the WAC and other CBI typologies
could help address particular organizational and/or
interpersonal conflict, thereby extending Pines and Aronson's
notion of enhancing one's "degree of cognitive complexity" (p.
27) of their organization and using support groups to alleviate
stress that could lead to counselor burnout (Brashear, 1987;
Spicuzza & DeVoe, 1982).
The CBI profiles of DCs and PCs also appear to have
considerable professional, personal, and instructional value for
counselors, supervisors, and organizations. For instance, DCs in
this study did not appear to be experiencing excessive
exhaustion or a significant deterioration in their personal life.
However, elevated levels of perceived incompetence and a
distressingly high level of devaluing clients are also seen in this
DC profile. This pattern of devaluing clients could be
symptomatic of compassion fatigue, defined historically as
secondary traumatic stress disorder (Figley, 1995). In other
words, the high degree of empathy provided by counselors
within the context of the therapeutic environment may increase
their vulnerability to compassion fatigue. As a defense,
counselors may devalue parts, or in more severe cases much, of
the client's story. This weakened response to client needs could
weaken the therapeutic alliance and may also diminish treatment
efficacy.
Conversely, the DC profile also offers a unique opportunity to
address a number of variables that could lead a counselor to
adopt a distant or self-protective stance with clients.
Interventions could be devised to address personal,
professional, and environmental stressors that, either
individually or together, impede the counselor's ability to
remain present with the client. For example, counselors may not
immediately recognize the disconnect with a client's story that
could accompany devaluing the client's story, especially if their
conceptualization of burnout is focused on monitoring variables
such as emotional or physical exhaustion or stressors connected
to their personal lives. In such cases, the DC profile offers a
17. link between several key dimensions of burnout while
connecting these symptoms to the counselor's ability to remain
attentive to the client (Yu, Lee, & Lee, 2007).
In contrast to both the DC and the WAC profiles, PCs reported
the highest degree of exhaustion, deterioration in their personal
life, and negative work environment. It is compelling to note,
however, that their scores on the Devaluing the Client subscale
are consistent with the WAC counselor profile. Thus, the PC
appears to have an aptitude for maintaining a solid therapeutic
presence while remaining resolute in the face of myriad
personal, professional, and environmental stressors. On the
other hand the PC should continually assess this discrepancy to
maintain personal health and appropriate professional
boundaries. As is the case with the DC, specific interventions
may address areas where it is clear that there is strain. However,
PCs could also serve as a resource for colleagues, especially
given their ability to provide effective therapeutic services even
when experiencing significant occupational and personal stress.
Clinical supervisors and administrators could also benefit from
the use of the CBI. Supervisors, for example, may be the first to
hear the unabridged feelings or concerns of stressed counselors.
In cases where scores reveal a DC or PC burnout pattern,
personalized strategies could be developed. Supervisors could
use the CBI as a supplemental supervisory tool to help address
unresolved issues manifesting in supervision that could
potentially result in professional impairment (see Standard
C.2.g.; American Counseling Association, 2005). Thus, periodic
use of the CBI by supervisors or administrators could be a
valuable supplemental supervisory tool that could lead to
productive discourse within the supervisory relationship (i.e.,
individual, triadic, or group).
Data gathered from the CBI may also provide a template for
administrators to use when assessing the sense of well-being of
their employees. Effective use of the CBI profiles could range
from organizing professional seminars or workshops to
employee recognition programs (i.e., programs dedicated to
18. facilitating a supportive and psychologically healthy work
environment). Overall, the CBI profiles could be integrated into
a comprehensive supervisory and administrative stratagem for
improving the professional experiences of counselors.
Limitations and Suggestions for Future Studies
Certain limitations inherent in the present research may have
affected the outcome of this study. First, all measures were
obtained by self-report questionnaires and participants were
anonymous and self-selected. Counselors who may have
experienced high levels of burnout might have been less
motivated to participate in this study to avoid painful issues.
Conversely, counselors who identified no burnout experience
may have judged their participation in this study to have little
impact and may have chosen not to participate. Future studies
could use multiple measures (e.g., direct observation) to assess
the burnout variable, thereby giving a clearer picture of the
longterm effect of burnout in professional counselors.
Second by including only counselors from a geographically
limited convenience sample, the conclusions are limited and
may not be generalized to all counselors in the United States.
Further research with counselors in other regions would allow
the researchers to determine if significant similarities or
differences exist in the counselor burnout profiles of the sample
of the present study and future study populations. Despite these
limitations, the approach of counselor burnout profiles,
regardless of the modality, could help counselors increase their
awareness of burnout and ultimately, its impact on their sense
of personal well-being and professional efficacy. In this
instance, the multidimensional burnout profiles broaden the
understanding of counselor burnout, potentially leading to both
an increase in counselor self-awareness and the opportunity to
design interventions dedicated to the prevention and alleviation
of counselor burnout.
