Overcoming Burnout: Resident Assistant Longevity and Resilience
No full textAs demands on student affairs professionals intensify across United States colleges, resident assistants face increasing vulnerability to burnout while balancing roles as students, employees, and peer leaders. The purpose of this narrative study was to examine the experiences of three resident assistants who pursued a third year in their position after experiencing and overcoming burnout. It was determined that specific support systems and resilience components had substantial impact on their ability to persist, providing indication of what institutional support would be most beneficial. Participants discussed experiences with overwhelming stress balancing academic responsibilities, peer relationships, and administrative duties, alongside factors historically contributing to burnout among this population. Through several perspectives, including challenges maintaining boundaries between peer and authority roles, community building responsibilities, and pressure to be constantly available for residents’ needs, real world implications are discussed. Findings reveal that resident assistants who successfully navigate burnout develop specific coping strategies, utilize institutional resources effectively, and maintain strong support networks both within and outside their residential communities. Recommendations are provided for housing professionals and institutions supporting this critical population. Understanding what motivates resident assistants to overcome burnout and return to their positions enables student affairs professionals to develop targeted interventions and create supportive environments promoting longevity and resilience among these essential campus contributors.

The Relationship Between Team Psychological Safety and Voluntary Turnover Intention: A Quantitative Study of Manufacturing Employees
No full textHigh voluntary employee turnover in manufacturing significantly affects organizational performance and profitability. Although prior studies have identified numerous predictors of voluntary turnover intentions, limited research has examined psychological safety as a potential factor. This quantitative correlation study addresses this gap by investigating the relationship between team psychological safety and voluntary turnover intentions among production associates and supervisors at an auto parts manufacturing plant in Southeastern Tennessee (N = 31). Using a cross-sectional survey administered via Qualtrics, participants completed demographic items, a team psychological safety scale, and a turnover intention scale. The initial analysis found no statistically significant correlation between team psychological safety and voluntary turnover intentions. However, when time-specific turnover intention items were excluded, a statistically significant correlation emerged. These findings suggest that refining psychological safety measures and further exploring its role in turnover intentions, particularly in manufacturing and small to midsize enterprises, is warranted
