The aim of this study was to explore the associations between occupational stress measured through job demand control (JDC), and burnout among lawyers in Sri Lanka. The job demand-control model and the burnout model are among the most used theoretical frameworks that relate job characteristics to health and well-being of individuals. This study included 290 respondent lawyers practicing in the metropolitan districts in Sri Lanka. Karasek's job content questionnaire was used to measure occupational stress, while the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory were used to measure personal, work-related and client-related burnout. Regression analysis was used to determine the association between occupational stress and burnout among lawyers. Lawyers reported relatively high scores of job control and psychological job demand. They also reported high social support. High levels of personal burnout and client-related burnout were also reported. Personal burnout and work-related burnout were associated with psychological job demand.

Adel
Shakeeb Mohsen
This study attempts to investigate the effect of oil returns and external debt on the government expenditure in Syria over the period 1970-2010. The Johansen cointegration test showed that oil returns and external debt have a positive and significant long run relationship with government expenditure. The Granger causality test indicates unidirectional short-run causality relationships running from oil returns and external debt to government expenditure. There are also unidirectional long-run causality relationship running from oil returns to government expenditure, and bidirectional long-run causality relationship between external debt and government expenditure. The IRFs indicate that when there is a shock to oil returns or external debt, the government expenditure will respond positively in the following years. The study result indicates that, oil returns have the biggest effect on the government expenditure, and both oil returns and external debt can play an important role in supporting the Syrian economy by financing the government expenditure.

The economic situation in the Arab countries is due to several factors as the political crisis in a socio-economic vulnerability. Political changes are usually accompanied by a drop in production, a deterioration of macroeconomic balances, a high level of poverty, an appearance of economic corruptions and a structural increase in unemployment. In addition, the expansion of terrorism is a main ingredient of political instability in Arab countries. In fact, terrorism and political chaos feed on each other; the purpose of terrorism is often creating political chaos, but not systematically. It might be back to the jihadist literature in the second half of the 2000s to understand what is the possible strategy that determines by policy authorities, in part, that used of violence against security institutions. Then, we investigate our paper to examine the response of the Arab economies to the geopolitical instability and the propagation of terrorism, especially, after the Arab revolution.
