“…Thus, the professionals least affected by the burnout syndrome showed higher levels in all the individual variables mentioned above. This coincides with the literature, which suggests that Job Crafting [37,43], proactive personality [52][53][54], general self-efficacy [66,67] and the promotion regulatory focus are associated with a decrease in Burnout among workers. This suggests that nurses who tend to face demands and obstacles that appear during their professional practice and who feel capable of it are not as burnt.…”

“…This variable has also been shown to be closely related to turnover in nursing, increasing retention of these workers in their job and patient satisfaction [65]. In this regard, self-efficacy has been found to be a protector variable against developing burnout [66,67]. Specifically, self-efficacy acts as a mediator in the relationship between the work overload to which nurses are subjected and level of burnout [68,69].…”

The heavy workload and pressure to which nurses are subjected leads to an increase in stress-related problems, such as burnout. Personal resources, such as job crafting, proactive personality, self-efficacy and regulatory focus are fundamental in palliating negative effects in the work environment and reducing quitting by male nurses. The objective of this study was to analyze individual differences, with attention to proactive personality, regulatory approach and general self-efficacy in job crafting, and to determine the predictive power of these variables for burnout in nurses. The sample was made up of 643 nurses. After correlation and descriptive analyses, multiple linear regression models were computed to find out the possible predictor role of the individual variables on burnout. The results showed that job crafting, proactive personality, general self-efficacy and the promotion regulatory focus were associated with a decrease in burnout in nurses. Similarly, the predictive models for each of the factors in burnout in all cases included the increase in structural resources dimension of job crafting as the variable with the most weight. Furthermore, self-efficacy, increase in job crafting social resources and proactive personality were mediators in this relationship for personal impact, social climate and job dissatisfaction factors of burnout. These findings are significant for improving performance of nurses and increasing their retention, which could be especially significant among male nurses.

Background: The heavy work load and pressure to which nursing professionals are subjected leads to an increase in stress-related problems, such as burnout. Personal resources, such as job crafting, proactive personality, self-efficacy and regulatory focus are fundamental in palliating negative effects in the work environment.Objective: To analyze individual differences, with attention to proactive personality, regulatory approach and general self-efficacy in job crafting, and to determine the predictive power of these variables for burnout in nursing professionals. Methods: The sample was made up of 643 nurses. After correlation and descriptive analyses, multiple linear regression models were computed to find out the possible predictor role of the individual variables on burnout. Main Outcome Measures were: Proactive personality, Regulatory focus, Self-efficacy (participant beliefs concerning their ability to handle different daily situations adequately), Job Crafting behavior and Burnout.Results: The results showed that job crafting, proactive personality, general self-efficacy and the promotion regulatory focus were associated with a decrease in burnout in healthcare workers. Similarly, the predictive models for each of the factors in burnout in all cases included the increase in structural resources dimension of job crafting as the variable with the most weight. Furthermore, the increase in the social resources of Job Crafting for the social climate of the Burnout acted as mediator of this relationship.Conclusion: Job Crafting has been shown to be a variable promoting positive changes in the work environment that acts as a predictor of employee Burnout levels.

“…At the same time, although the study believes that work engagement is an effective measure to interfere with job burnout of village doctors [6], the impact of work engagement on burnout is still lack of empirical research. Meanwhile, existing studies have mostly used chi-square test, t-test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and, multiple linear or multiple logistic regression analysis, to analyze the factors in uencing job burnout [5,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Compared with the above research, structural equation modeling (SEM) can not only measure the correlation between research variables, but also dig the correlation between potential variables, and even explain the causal relationship between variables.…”

Background: In China, grass-roots village doctors, as the gatekeepers of rural residents' health, play an important role in guaranteeing and serving the health level of rural residents. However, the serious burnout and high turnover rate of village doctors threaten the stability of village medical teams. This research evaluated the influence of personality, alexithymia and work engagement on the burnout of village doctors in an in-depth and detailed way, and explored the mediating role of work engagement and alexithymia between personality and the burnout of village doctors in China.Methods: During May and June 2019, 2,684 rural doctors in 1,345 rural clinics in Jining city, Shandong Province, were studied using a quantitative study self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire included demographic and sociological characteristics, personality, alexithymia, work engagement and burnout, and was measured by 5-7 Likert scale. One-way ANOVA, Person correlation analysis, and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) were used for statistical analysis.Results: Up to 54.3% of the surveyed rural doctors showed moderate to severe emotional exhaustion, 90.5% of them had moderate to severe sense of low personal achievement and 33.9% of them had moderate to severe depersonalization burnout. Personality has a direct positive effect on work engagement (β=0.50, p<0.001), but has a direct negative effect on alexithymia (β=-0.52, p<0.001) and burnout (β=-0.50, p<0.001) respectively. Work engagement has a direct negative effect on burnout (β=-0.10, p<0.001), while alexithymia has a direct positive effect on burnout (β=0.16, p<0.001). In the path between personality and burnout, both work engagement, 95%CI:(−0.17)–(−0.08), and alexithymia 95%CI:(−0.36)–(−0.09), have significant mediating effects.The above results strongly confirmed that personality, alexithymia, and work engagement were early, powerful predicators of burnout.Conclusion: According to the results, medical administrators should pay attention to the personality characteristics of village doctors in their professional training, practice selection and job assignment and encourage doctors to actively reflect on their own personality and to reduce job burnout by obtaining necessary social support, constructing reasonably achievable career expectations, improving time management and participating in psychological counselling programs.
