Abstract

Objectives:The aim of this study is to identify specific stressors within mayoral activities and to construct a mayors' life event inventory.Methods: Two online questionnaires were administered at four-month intervals. The first one collecting verbatim related to the stressors experienced by mayors. The second one evaluating the intensity and occurrence of the different stressors identified. Results:In total, we retained responses from 1,120 mayorsThe first questionnaire has identified 25 work-related and 9 personal life stressors (the cumulative stressor scale). The beta coefficients of the mediation analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between stressors and burnout. The total effect of stressors on burnout was substantial (β = 0.60, p < .001). Conclusions:This study sheds light on the specific stressors that affect mayors in France, revealing a complex interplay between work-related and personal life challenges.
