I feel burnt out: Insights from the Australian university staff survey - 'Small Wins Webinar Series'

Описание: In the years since the pandemic and our first ever Women in Research webinar on managing well-being at work, the conversation around mental health, psychosocial safety, and burnout in universities has gained a considerable momentum, leading to more comprehensive discussions at institutional and policy levels.

The reality for university staff remains unchanged however, with latest findings from a landmark study of Australian university staff mental health, working conditions and wellbeing showing the university sector performing below national benchmarks for Psychosocial Safety Climate (PSC), a long-standing measure and predictor of workplace psychosocial conditions and wellbeing.

In this upcoming webinar, Dr Amy Zadow (Senior Research Fellow at UniSA's Psychosocial Safety Climate Global Observatory) will present findings from the 'Australian University Staff: Work, Digital Stress and Wellbeing Survey'. Led by Professor Kurt Lushington and ARC Laureate Fellow Professor Maureen Dollard at UniSA, the survey captured 6,200 responses from university staff across every state and territory from 2020-2023.

She will be joined by lead of the Women in Research initiative, ARC Laureate Fellow and John Curtin Distinguished Professor Sharon Parker (Curtin University) who will share her insights as one of the world’s leading expert on work design into improving university staff wellbeing.
