Abstract
Purpose
The 119 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is responsible for receiving and handling fire, rescue, and emergency disaster reports. We aimed to investigate job stress, resilience, and burnout among workers at this center.
Methods
A descriptive survey was conducted among 119 EOC workers stationed at 18 fire department headquarters nationwide. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Statistics 28, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
Results
The research findings indicate that job stress accounts for 34.1% (adjusted R² = 0.341) of the variance in burnout, demonstrating the greatest impact. Resilience contributed to 12.8% of the variance. Together, these two variables explained 51.4% of the variance in burnout.
Conclusion
The impact of job stress and recovery resilience on burnout among EOC dispatchers was significant. The highest stress was observed in terms of the lack of manuals for non-emergency reporting and the environmental aspects of work. Based on these findings, emotional exhaustion and dehumanization were particularly high in burnout. In response to these results, fire departments should raise awareness about the causes of job stress, produce nationwide promotional videos to improve public consciousness, establish detailed guidelines for responding to different types of reporters, and revise the legal aspects to address these issues.
