OBJECTIVETo identify related factors of job burnout in Shanghai employees.
METHODSFour hundred fifty-six employees in Shanghai were investigated in this study. Self-administered questionnaires were used to assess job burnout and job stress, based on Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Job Demand-Control model as well as Effort-Reward Imbalance Model. Hierarchical linear regression was employed to analyze the relationship of job burnout to personal characteristics and job stress.
RESULTSThe indexes of three dimensions of job burnout were emotional exhaustion 19.70 +/- 8.92, depersonalization 11.95 +/- 4.45 and reduced personal accomplishment 28.10 +/- 10.08. Job stress was found to be affected differently in three dimensions of job burnout. Job demand, effort and over-commitment had positive impact on emotional exhaustion. Job control had a negative association with emotional exhaustion. There were significant relationship between depersonalization and age, sex and education of employees. Job control, reward and over-commitment affected the index of depersonalization. Education level and social support increased personal accomplishment index.
CONCLUSIONIt is necessary to reduce job stress and care about personal characteristics in preventing job burnout.
