This meta‐analytic study of 71 independent samples from 66 studies (N = 48,528) examined the relationship between job control and burnout. Based on the Conservation of Resources model, job control was hypothesised to have a stronger relationship with depersonalisation and personal accomplishment than with emotional exhaustion. Overall, results supported the main hypothesis. Moderator analyses indicated that the relations tended to be different depending on job types, the national power distance scores of the samples, and the response formats of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The results imply that interventions in job control can reduce depersonalisation and enhance personal accomplishment.

The moderating effects of core self-evaluation and person-organization (P-O) fit on the relationship between person-job (P-J) fit and subjective well-being were examined using cross-sectional surveys. Most of the participants of the studies were Asian employees in the United States. In Study 1 (N ϭ 90), the interaction between core self-evaluation and needs-supplies (N-S) fit significantly predicted happiness but not depression. Workers with high levels of core self-evaluation were less affected by N-S fit, whereas employees who had low core selfevaluation displayed a reduced level of happiness when there was a lack of N-S fit. In Study 2 (N ϭ 90), P-O fit moderated the relationship between P-J fit and happiness. Employees with high P-O fit displayed more dramatic increases in happiness than employees with low P-O fit as P-J fit increased. These studies suggest that core self-evaluation and P-O fit may moderate the relationship between P-J fit and psychological well-being. In addition, facets of P-J fit showed differential relationships with mental health in a pattern consistent with previous research. Implications for research and occupational health interventions were discussed.
