The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction, occupational stress, burnout and work engagement as dimensions of work-related wellbeing in a sample of members of the police force in South Africa. A survey design was used. Stratifed random samples of members of the police force (N = 677) were taken in the North West Province of South Africa. The Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, Police Stress Inventory, Maslach Burnout Inventory – General Survey and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale were used as measuring instruments. The results provided support for a four-factorial model of work-related wellbeing consisting of the following dimensions: job satisfaction (indicating pleasure vs. displeasure), occupational stress (indicating anxiety vs. comfort), burnout (indicating fatigue vs. vigour), and engagement (indicating enthusiasm vs. depression).

Systematically reviewing remote e-workers’ well-being at work: a multidimensional approach (2018, background): “This may then lead to limited access to social support that is crucial in increasing employee engagement (Xanthopoulou, Bakker, Demerouti, & Schaufeli, 2009), and well-being (Rothmann, 2008).”
Latent burnout profiles: A new approach to understanding the burnout experience (2016, background): “Job satisfaction that is conceptually distinct from work engagement (Schaufeli, Bakker, & Van Rhenen, 2009) provides a positive contrast to burnout that has been shown to have direct relationships with the MBI scales (Hayes, Douglas, & Bonner, 2015; Rothmann, 2008).”
Psychological Well-Being and Resilience as Predictors of First-Year Students' Academic Performance (2013, background): “The results indicated that burnout (specifically Emotional Exhaustion and Cynicism) and resilience (specifically Religion) were statistically significant predictors of academic performance.”
Impact of individual coping strategies and organisational work–life balance programmes on Australian employee well-being (2016, background): “members could be constrained by lack of flexibility, leave provision and managerial support and understanding, as argued by Skinner and Chapman (2013) (also see Adkins & Premeaux, 2012).”
A lifespan perspective on job design: Fitting the job and the worker to promote job satisfaction, engagement, and performance (2012, background): “Job satisfaction and work engagement are two important positive dimensions of work-related well-being (Rothmann, 2008).”
The validation of the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire in selected organisations in South Africa : original research (2009, background): “Rothmann (2008) points out that job satisfaction is one component of the work-related well-being that should be included in diagnostic studies of people’s well-being in organisations.”
How coworkers attribute, react to, and shape job crafting (2019, background): “Affective workrelated well-being refers to the experience of positive or negative affect at work (Diener & Larsen, 1993) and is studied using constructs such as work engagement, job satisfaction, burnout, strain, and meaningful work (e.g., Blanchflower & Oswald, 1999; Rothmann, 2008; Warr, 1990).”
Work engagement interventions can be effective: a systematic review (2019, background): “The wider literature is not clear how engagement may relate to other indicators of well-being (Rothmann, 2008; Schaufeli, Taris, & Van Rhenen, 2008), or indeed, whether the term is confounded with other well-being constructs such as positive affect (e.g. Macey & Schneider, 2008).”
