Özet
The study aimed to examine the work motivation and burnout levels of healthcare professionals who do
physical activity in leisure to protect their physical and psychosocial health in the hard times of the Covid19 pandemic. The study sample consisted of 152 healthcare professionals working at regular office hours
in a public hospital in Istanbul. The data collection instruments included a personal information form, The
Maslach Burnout Scale, and Work Motivation Scale. The data obtained from the instruments were
evaluated with the SPSS package program, and frequency analysis was performed for demographic
information. Besides, simple linear regression analysis, One Way Variance Analysis (ANOVA), and
independent-sample t-test analysis was carried out. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. As a result
of the study, it was found that especially the nurses' emotional burnout scores (X = 3.32) were higher than
other healthcare professionals (X = 2.92). It was also concluded that healthcare professionals with high
levels of emotional burnout experienced depersonalization and decreases in personal achievement, and
external motivations resources such as wages and rewards also increased. It is an actual result to indicate
that weekly exercise frequency did not affect the healthcare professionals’ burnout levels but positively
affected work motivation.
