The purpose of this study was to explore factors associated with life satisfaction among nursery school teachers. To accomplish the study purpose, this study first classified several variables into three broad categories including work environment (social support & work environment), job-related environment (work-related stress & job satisfaction), and burnout. And then, 302 nursery school teachers across the country were surveyed in order to explore whether those factors were associated with life satisfaction. The overall results were as follows. First, social support and work environment had a direct impact on the satisfaction with life. Second, social support and job satisfaction had a direct influence on job satisfaction. Third, social support, work-related stress and job satisfaction directly influenced burnout. Fourth, job-related environment, job satisfaction, and burnout had a direct impact on life satisfaction. Overall, it was found that job-related environment, job satisfaction, and burnout had a direct influence on life satisfaction among nursery school teachers and social support and work-related stress had an indirect effect on life satisfaction via burnout.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between job stress, coworker support, emotional stability and burnout, and to examine the mediating effect of coworker support and emotional stability. A total of 212 noncommissioned officers were interviewed and correlation and mediating effect analysis were applied to the resulting data. As a result, the job stress showed a positive correlation with coworker support, emotional stability and negative correlation with burnout, and coworker support and emotional stability showed a negative correlation with burnout. In addition, coworker support and emotional stability were partially mediated by job stress and burnout. However, in order to examine the relationship between these two, the double mediation between job stress and burnout showed that the emotional stability of job stress was partially mediated directly by burnout, and that coworker support was mediated by burnout only through emotional stability. Based on these results, the implications and limitations of this study were discussed.

Purpose: This study was done to identify the effects of Type D personality on compassion fatigue, burnout, compassion satisfaction, and job stress in clinical nurses. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 172 clinical nurses working in two tertiary hospitals. The structured questionnaires included Type D personality scale, compassion fatigue, burnout, compassion satisfaction, and job stress scales. Results: About 79.7% of participants were classified as Type D personality group. The Type D personality was not related to general characteristics of clinical nurses. The Type D personality group showed statistically significant higher compassion fatigue, burnout, and job stress and lower compassion satisfaction compared to the non-Type D personality group. In addition, compassion fatigue and burnout were positively correlated with job stress and compassion fatigue was positively correlated with burnout. However, compassion satisfaction was negatively correlated with burnout. Conclusion: As the prevalence of Type D personality is high in clinical nurses, it is necessary to assess stress-related personality. In addition, management for the nurse with Type D personality is required to alleviate compassion fatigue, burnout, and job stress and to improve compassion satisfaction.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effects of burnout and to identify the moderating effects of individual factors and organizational factors on the relationship between emotional dissonance and job satisfaction. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 270 dental hygienists working full-time at dental care facilities. The data on the socio-demographic characteristics, emotional dissonance, burnout, job satisfaction, and individual and organizational factors were collected. The individual (self-efficacy and ego resilience) and organizational (social support, organizational support and wage satisfaction) factors were considered as the moderating variable. For statistical analyses, t-test, one-way ANOVA and multiple linear regression were used. Results: Burnout was found to be a significant mediator on the relationship between emotional dissonance and job satisfaction(p<0.001). The variables moderating the relationship between emotional dissonance and burnout were identified as social support, organizational support and wage satisfaction (p<0.05), while the variables moderating the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction were wage satisfaction and ego resilience (p<0.05). Conclusions: To prevent the decrease in job satisfaction due to emotional dissonance, the management of dental care facilities should have a better understanding of burnout in dental hygienists, which requires individual and organizational efforts to be moderated. In addition, as organizational support has been identified as the factor mitigating the negative effects of emotional dissonance, it is highly necessary to adopt the preceptor system, improve communication systems and expand welfare policies of organizations.

The purpose of this study was to examine pathways between job characteristics and job satisfaction among local officials in the child care sector. Participants of this study comprised of 128 local officials who worked in the child care sectors. Structural equation modeling was used to test the direct and indirect effects of job characteristics on job satisfaction through job stress and job burnout. Results confirmed the initial model that assumed there would be an indirect effect of job characteristics based on job satisfaction. The path involving three variables of job characteristics, however, were not statistically significant. The initial model was modified by removing the job characteristics variables. The modified model that confirmed the initial model showed that job stress of local officials in the child care sector was likely to increase job burnout; in turn, the job burnout tended to decrease job satisfaction.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to ascertain current status of nurses' perception, nursing performance, job stress, and burnout in relation to the Joint Commission International (JCI) hospital accreditation and to verify the relationships among these variables. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed using questionnaires. Data were collected from 220 nurses who worked at one hospital from April 5 to May 4, 2013. Results: The scores for perception, nursing performance, job stress and burnout in relation to the JCI hospital accreditation were(on a five-point Likert scale) 3.23, 4.01, 3.56 and 3.40 respectively. A positive correlation was observed between perception and nursing performance. Burnout was negatively correlated with perception and nursing performance, and positively correlated with job stress. Conclusion: These results indicate that developing positive perception and reduced burnout in relation to the JCI hospital accreditation can produce good nursing performance. These findings can be utilized to develop strategies for reducing job stress and burnout in relation to the JCI hospital accreditation.

The purpose of this paper is that investigates a model of burnout and coping strategy employees in out-bound travel agency. So, we investigated the relationship between burnout variables(emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, reduces personal accomplishment) and employee's job satisfaction, intentions to resign. And we suggest that coping strategies will control the relationship between burnout and job attitude. We used social support, self esteem, and leisure involvement as a coping method. Data obtained from survey of frontline employees working in the several outbound travel agencies in Seoul, Korea. In the result, it has strong relationships between burnout and job-relative components. Perceived burnout phenomenon has negatively effect on job satisfaction and positively effect on resign intention. Coping variables controled in the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction. In the practical implications, managers can take an action as like a social support to reduce employee's burnout. And employee has activity hobby for reducing the burnout.

Objectives: This study aims to serve as basic data for improving human resource management and the quality of work at dental hospitals and clinics by examining the relationship among clinical dental hygienists' emotional labor, job stress, and turnover intention. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 220 dental hygienists in hospitals and clinics from March 11 to April 26, 2019. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0. For participants' burnout, job stress, emotional labor, and turnover intention based on general and occupational characteristics were analyzed using a t-test and one-way ANOVA. After performing a one-way ANOVA, a Duncan test was performed for mean comparison. Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted to determine correlations between variables, and stepwise multiple regression was performed to examine the factors that affect burnout. Results: Clinical dental hygienists' mean burnout was 3.05 points, and the factors that affect such burnout were turnover intention, job stress, and emotional labor. Burnout was higher when job satisfaction was low, turnover intention was low, and emotional labor was high, with a 29.3% explanatory power. Conclusions: For effective human resource management of dental hygienists, it is necessary to develop and implement programs that can reduce emotional labor and burnout.

This paper reviewed the effect of job burnout on safety outcomes, and the moderating effect of safety climate in Korean Air Force. The prevalence of burnout in air force pilots has not been determined and reviewed. It is also unknown whether pilots' burnout may affect their safety outcomes(safety action & compliance). The primary objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of burnout and it's effect on safety outcomes. For cross-sectional survey, 910 questionnaires were sent to pilots in air force, and 722 questionnaires among them were returned effectively. The questionnaire was divided into 4 parts examining pilots' demographic factors, job burnout, safety outcomes, and safety climates. To test and review proposed hypotheses, hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used. The results of statistical analysis appeared as follow; 1) EE(emotional exhaustion) and RPA(reduced personal accomplishment) effected negatively on safety action. 2) EE and RPA effected negatively on safety compliance. 3) EE effected more positively on safety action in higher SS(superior support) group than in lower SS group. 4) RPA effected more positively on safety compliance in higher SS(superior support) group than in lower SS group. 5) RPA effected more positively on safety action in higher CW(coworker support) group than in lower CW group.

This study was conducted to determine if the relationships between role identification confusion and burnout and between role identification confusion and job satisfaction are mediated by role conflict and whether job crafting moderates the mediating the relationships between role conflict and burnout and between role conflict and job satisfaction. A total of 150 professional school counselors completed a survey about role identification confusion, role conflict, burnout, job satisfaction, and job crafting. The results of a correlation analysis showed that the relationship between role identification confusion and burnout was statistically significantly positive, the relationship between role identification confusion and job satisfaction was statistically significantly negative, and that role conflict mediated the relationships between role identification confusion and burnout and between role identification confusion and job satisfaction. However, the moderated mediation effect of job crafting in these relationships was not statistically significant. This paper discusses this study's limitations and suggestions for further research.
