Abstract
Introduction
Job burnout has adverse effects on employees’ work motivation and job performance. Also, increases their willingness to leave their job. For that reason, the aim of this study was designing and testing a model of some consequences of job burnout (general health, life satisfaction, work motivation, turnover intention, and job performance).
Method
The research method is descriptive-correlational type. The statistical population of the study included all employees of Karun Oil & Gas Company in 2018. From this population, 225 employees were selected by simple random sampling method. Evaluation of the proposed model was done by structural equation modeling (SEM) using AMOS-22 and SPSS-22 soft-wares. Bootstrap method was also used for testing the indirect relationships.
In this study, Maslach’s Job Burnout (1982), Goldberg & Hiller’s General Health (1979), Diener’s et al. Life Satisfaction (1985), Wright’s work Motivation (2004), Coman’s et al. Turnover Intention (1979), and Paterson’s Job Performance (1922) Questionnaires were used for data collection. In the present research, the reliability of emotional exhaustion, general health, life satisfaction scale, work motivation, Turnover Intention, and job performance questionnaires, using Cronbach's alpha coefficient were 0.83, 0.73, 0.85, 0.63, 0.88, and 0.96, respectively.
