- ItemOpen AccessThe Impact of Core Self-Evaluations and Team Conflict on Individual Burnout(2017) Smith, Julia; O'Neill, Thomas; Bourdage, Joshua; Madigan, Sheri; Collins, MichaelThis thesis explored the impact of team conflict and core self-evaluations on student burnout in using engineering student teams in a first-year engineering course. Three patterns of conflict emerged at the mid-semester time-point: a task conflict dominant profile, a relationship conflict/process conflict minor profile, and a midrange conflict profile. Supplemental analyses identified four emergent profiles at the end of the semester. A multilevel model including core self-evaluations as a predictor, team conflict profiles as a moderator, and burnout as an outcome found that core self-evaluations significantly predicted disengagement, though not when a number of covariates were taken into account, and that the interaction between core self- evaluations and team conflict profiles was not significant. The findings and implications for the Job Demands-Resources Model are discussed, as are suggestions for future researchers.
