“…First, this is a cross-sectional design study and this implies that the causal links should be interpreted with caution. Although the relationships tested in the model are supported by previous research, some even longitudinally (e.g., Marcionetti and Rossier, 2021;Preetz et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2022), future research needs to confirm the directionality of these associations through longitudinal designs specifically on samples of workers. Furthermore, the sample of workers collected consists of employees, freelances, entrepreneurs, traders, and managers, and the generalizability of the findings to other occupations requires caution.…”

“…Indeed, it has been negatively associated with burnout (McCain et al, 2018), and positively related to both job satisfaction and job performance (Athota et al, 2020); moreover, longitudinal research showed that resilience was a significant predictor of professional skills (Palma-García et al, 2018). Consistently, previous evidence also showed the significant influence of resilience on emotional well-being and satisfaction with life (Liu et al, 2013), which was longitudinally supported (Wang et al, 2022). Furthermore, resilience was also associated with other variables that could mediate this relationship, such as career adaptability (Buyukgoze-Kavas, 2016) and selfefficacy (Djourova et al, 2019).…”

Satisfaction with life is a core dimension of well-being that can be of great importance in the workplace, in light of the close link between worker health and organizational success highlighted by the perspective of healthy organizations. This study aimed at analyzing the factors associated with satisfaction with life, focusing on the role of resilience, career adaptability, self-efficacy, and years of education. A sample of 315 workers (67% women; Mage = 34.84 years, SD = 12.39) filled out the Satisfaction with Life Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Career Adapt-Abilities Scale, the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and a demographic questionnaire. Data were analyzed by implementing a chained mediation model. Results showed a significant and positive relationship between resilience and satisfaction with life, partially moderated by the chained effect of career adaptability and self-efficacy, controlling for education. When inserted as a covariate, education showed a significant and negative association with satisfaction with life. Such findings contribute to enriching the field of research on the factors that contribute to the well-being of workers and may have important practical implications for interventions in organizations.

“…The academic burnout scale (LBS) developed by Lian et al [ 1 ], and has been validated to have good reliability and validity [ 70 ]. The scale has 20 items in total, including 8 reverse questions, which are composed of three dimensions: low mood(e.g., “I am tired of studying.“), low sense of accomplishment(e.g.,“I am energetic when studying.“) and improper behavior(e.g., “only I only read it when I take the test.”).…”

Background The study burnout of medical students is more and more serious, which directly affects the study style of university and the learning quality of students. This has aroused the high attention of researchers and universities. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of the influence of school climate on academic burnout among medical students in Chinese cultural context. Methods 2411 medical students (50.52% female; mean age = 19.55, SD = 1.41, rang = 17–24 years) were investigated with psychological environment questionnaire, collective self-esteem scale, psychological capital scale and academic burnout scale. The data were analyzed by using a moderated mediation model with SPSS and the Process 4.0 macro. Results The results revealed that: (1) school climate had a significant negative predictive effect on academic burnout among medical students controlling for gender, grade and age (B = -0.40, p < 0.001). (2) Collective self-esteem played a partial mediating role in school climate and academic burnout (indirect effect = -0.28, 95% CI = [-0.32,-0.25], accounting for 52.83%). (3) The first and second half of the indirect effect of school climate on medical students’ academic burnout were moderated by psychological capital (B = 0.03, p < 0.01; B = -0.09, p < 0.001).High level of psychological capital can enhance the link between school climate and collective self-esteem as well as the link between self-esteem and academic burnout. Conclusion Creating a good school atmosphere and improving the level of collective self-esteem and psychological capital are beneficial to improve the academic burnout of medical students.

“…Life satisfaction strongly influences overall wellbeing. Existing evidence indicate that life satisfaction decreases during medical school among medical students [2,3]. Some of the consistently reported stressors relate to academics, time pressures, heavy workload, poor relationships, poor student guidance/support finances, fear of failure and examination frequency [4][5][6][7].…”

Purpose Life satisfaction influences well-being. Medical students often experience more stress as compared to their counterparts in other disciplines as they are required to meet the demands of both academic workload and clinical responsibilities. However, during the current pandemic, in addition to academic changes, inability to complete clinical placements, loss of peer interaction and social connectedness and, deployment to areas in times of crisis could exacerbate their stress. This would impact their ability to cope with stress and eventually influence their life satisfaction. Students approach these challenges in various ways, either positively, religiously, or by avoiding. This study aimed to explore the association between resilience, coping mechanisms and life satisfaction in medical students during the pandemic. Methods A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted from undergraduate medical students from year 1 to year 5. Three instruments were used to measure life satisfaction, resilience, and coping, namely The Brief Resilience Scale, The Satisfaction with Life Scale and the COPE inventory. Mean and standard deviation were calculated for all continuous variables. Robust linear regression model was used for analysis. Hierarchical (forward) stepwise model building technique was used for final model. Alpha cut off was kept at 0.05. Results A total of 351 students (out of 500 students) completed the questionnaires. A moderately negative, slightly linear correlation between life satisfaction and avoidant coping was reported. Life satisfaction showed moderately positive, slightly linear correlation with resilience score. Three variables stayed significant in the final model: Resilience, avoidant coping, and religion coping. Conclusion Life satisfaction can be improved among medical students by focusing on strategies which enhance resilience. Religion is identified as a significant coping strategy among medical students. Students coping mechanism can vary and more research is needed to assess which types of coping strategies could contribute positively to the quality of their personal and professional lives
