Abstract
There is an increasing concern about job-related stress, burnout, and satisfaction. This study explores stress, burnout, and job satisfaction patterns among remote and in-person workers. The sample for this study comprised 88 adults recruited through social media who voluntarily completed a 40-item Google Forms survey. The survey included 10 demographic items and incorporated items from three inventories: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), and Aggregate Job Satisfaction Scale (AJSS). The data were analyzed quantitatively using Pearson correlation and independent samples t-tests to assess the relationship among burnout, work-related stress, and job satisfaction, and to determine the influence of job-setting (remote vs in-person) on each variable. The analyses revealed a strong positive relationship between work-related stress and burnout, yet a negative relationship between these variables and job satisfaction. Furthermore, in-person workers reported significantly higher work-related stress but did not report any significance in burnout or job satisfaction, compared to remote/hybrid workers.
