The background of my doctoral study is volunteer firefighter recruitment and retention challenges. Daily exposure to such professional demands may result in negative consequences, such as burnout, a syndrome resulting from chronic exposure to occupational stress impacting both individuals and organizations (Dias, et al., 2022). Dedicated individuals provide a crucial service to their communities and without enough emergency responders communities risk life safety and property conservation. Through these next eight weeks, I will focus on establishing a solid foundation with my prospectus to develop and execute a study that will provide benefits to volunteer fire and emergency organizations.
