Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of job satisfaction on job burnout among administrative staff in public hospitals and to examine the mediating effect of career growth in this relationship. Methods A total of 384 administrative staff from 20 public hospitals in Tianjin City were recruited as participants using the convenience sampling method. Their job burnout, job satisfaction, and career growth were measured with the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Career Growth Scale, respectively. A structural equation model was constructed using AMOS 23.0, and the mediating effect was examined with the Bootstrap method. Results The mean scores of job burnout, job satisfaction, and career growth among participants were (43.1±15.4), (14.4±5.7), and (8.3±4.2), respectively. The results of the mediating effect analysis showed that career growth played a significant mediating role between job satisfaction and job burnout among the public hospital administrative staff, with the mediating effect accounting for approximately 22.2% to 52.2% of the total effect. Conclusion Job satisfaction of public hospital administrative staff can directly affect their job burnout, and it can also influence job burnout through the mediating effect of career growth. Effective measures to improve job satisfaction and promote career growth may help alleviate job burnout among administrative staff in public hospitals.
