Objectives The purpose of this study was to trace the connection between self-government styles and the level of burnout among medical workers in Russia. Methods The methodological complex of the online research includes the author's socio-demographic questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory and the J. Kuhl’s and A. Fuhrman’s Self-Government Test. The sample consisted of 126 medical workers in Russia (105 women, 21 men, average age 37 ±11.5 years) who filled out the questionnaire from May 1, 2020 to November 30, 2021. Results Correlation analysis showed strong significant negative correlations of the general burnout index with the scales of self-regulation: with the scale of self-determination (r=-0.650;p<0.01), self-motivation (r=-0.574;p<0.01), self-relaxation (r=-0.579;p<0.01). We also found a negative relationship of burnout with the scales of volition development: the scale of initiative (r=-0, 254; p<0.01), volitional activity (r=-0.397;p<0.01) and the ability to concentrate (r=-0.507;p<0.01). In addition, an increase in burnout is associated with a decrease in sensitivity to oneself scales: orientation to action after failures (r=-0.559;p<0.01), congruence to one's own feelings (r=-0.619;p<0.01) and integration of contradictions (r=-0.383; p<0.01). It was also found that cognitive self-control is associated with burnout (r =-0.278;p<0.01). Conclusions Thus, professional burnout is significantly associated with all scales of self-government in medical workers. This is manifested in a decrease in the ability to self-regulation, volitional regulation and sensitivity to oneself. These results can be used to identify targets of psychological correction.
