This study aimed at investigating the relationship between perfectionism and burnout. Moreover, the moderating effect of religious coping in this relationship was also investigated. The sample of the current study consisted of 210 physicians, with a reasonable mix of demographic characteristics, working in public and private health institutions in the greater Cairo Area. The data were obtained using a structured questionnaire to assess perfectionistic striving, perfectionistic concerns, religious coping and the three dimensions of job burnout, namely, emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and feelings of inefficacy. Significant correlations were obtained between perfectionism and burnout dimensions. However, the moderating effect of religious coping in the relationship between perfectionism and burnout was not obtained. These results were discussed in line with extant literature. Conclusion and policy implications were reported.

“…If so, this interpretation would have important implications for research on perfectionism, workaholism, and burnout because it would suggest that Taris et al's (2010) finding of workaholism mediating the relationship between perfectionism and burnout holds only for self-oriented perfectionism, but not socially prescribed perfectionism. Socially prescribed perfectionism has shown close links with burnout PERFECTIONISM, WORK MOTIVATION, AND WORKAHOLISM 11 (Childs & Stoeber, 2010, but if socially prescribed perfectionism is unrelated to workaholism, workaholism cannot explain the perfectionism-burnout link for socially prescribed perfectionism.…”

“…Child and Stoeber (2010) investigated the relationships of self-oriented, other-oriented, and socially prescribed perfectionism in employees with their burnout and engagement. The results of their study suggest that promoting some forms of perfectionism at work -specifically self-oriented perfectionism -and decreasing the effect of socially prescribed perfectionism may lower burnout and enhance engagement in employees (Child & Stoeber, 2010). Mohamadi Hasel and Besharat (2011) studied the relationship of perfectionism and hardiness to stress-induced physiological responses.…”

This study investigated the relationship between perfectionism, psychological hardiness and job burnout of employees at executive organizations in Birjand County, Iran. In terms of purpose, this study is applied, and in terms of nature, it is descriptive and co relational. The population included 5000 employees and the sample composed of 356 persons according to Cochran Formula who were classified using randomized sampling. Three modified questionnaires of perfectionism, psychological hardiness, and job burnout were used to collect data. Their validities were 0.84, 0.81 and 0.77 and their reliabilities, using Chronbach's alpha, were 0.87, 0.78, and 0.86 respectively. The data were analyzed in SPSS using Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients. Findings showed that there was a negative correlation between psychological hardiness and perfectionism as well as its dimensions in the employees. There was not a significant relationship between self-oriented and other-oriented perfectionism and job burnout. The relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism and job burnout was positive. There was a significant negative relationship between psychological hardiness and job burnout. It is recommended to hold perfectionism and psychological hardiness workshops for employees in order to decrease their job burnout and to strengthen perfectionism at a moderate and psychological hardiness at a high level.
