The Impact of Job Stress and Self-Efficacy on Job Burnout Dimensions

摘要

Burnout has a negative impact on organizational outcomes' efficiency and effectiveness, hence harming and threatening its survival. The present study investigated the impact of job stress and self-efficacy on job burnout dimensions. Participants in this research were 367 employees working in the private sector in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The data were collected by using a questionnaire consisting of four sections. The results showed a significant relationship between the three dimensions of job burnout. Also, the relationship between job stress and emotional exhaustion (EE) and depersonalization (DP) dimensions was positive, whereas the personal accomplishment (PA) dimension was negative. In contrast, self-efficacy showed a significant negative relationship with EE and DP dimensions and a positive relationship with PA dimension. Moreover, the study revealed a negative relationship between the independent variables, which are job stress and self-efficacy. In addition, the results of path analysis supported these findings.
