Reduced personal accomplishment refers to a decline in
feelings of competence and productivity at work.
This lowered
sense of self-efficacy has been linked to depression and
an inability to cope with the demands of the job, and
it can
be exacerbated by a lack of social support and of opportunities
to develop professionally.
Staff members experience
a growing sense of inadequacy about their ability to
help clients, and this may result in a self-imposed verdict of
failure.
The personal-accomplishment component represents
the self-evaluation dimension of burnout.
