Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to examine burnout and job satisfaction among nurses based on Job Demand-Resource Model.
METHODS
A survey using a structured questionnaire was conducted with 464 hospital nurses. Analysis of data was done with both SPSS Win 17.0 for descriptive statistics and AMOS 18.0 for the structural equation model.
RESULTS
The hypothetical model yielded the following Chi-square=34.13 (p = <.001), df=6, GFI=.98, AGFI=.92, CFI=.94, RMSR=.02, NFI=.93, IFI=.94 and showed good fit indices. Workload had a direct effect on emotional exhaustion (beta = 0.39), whereas supervisor support had direct effects on emotional exhaustion (beta = -0.24), depersonalization (beta = -0.11), and low personal accomplishment (beta = -0.22). Emotional exhaustion (beta = -0.42), depersonalization (beta = -0.11) and low personal accomplishment (beta = -0.36) had significant direct effects on job satisfaction.
CONCLUSION
The results suggest that nurses' workload should be decreased and supervisor's support should be increased in order to retain nurses. Further study with a longitudinal design is necessary.
