520 |a Previous research examining the links between age and burnout has found that there was a significant negative correlation between age and both emotional exhaustion and depersonalization as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Two theories are often advanced to account for this: those who suffered from emotional exhaustion or depersonalization at a younger age may have left the job either on grounds of ill-health or to seek alternative employment; older workers may have learned how better to pace themselves in their work in order to minimize opportunities for burnout. The present study sought to evaluate these two theories. A sample of 340 Anglican clergy in England and Wales, who had all served one year in ordained ministry, completed a modified form of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, alongside a variety of socio-demographic questions, including age and years in ministry. The results show that it is chronological age, and not years in ministry, that is negatively correlated with the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization subscales of burnout. It is concluded that in order to reduce the incidence of burnout among clergy, particular strategies need to be introduced for the care and support of younger clergy.
