The Impact of Job Stress and Self-Efficacy on Job Burnout Dimensions

Burnout has a negative impact on organizational outcomes' efficiency and effectiveness, hence harming and threatening its survival. The present study investigated the impact of job stress and self-efficacy on job burnout dimensions. Participants in this research were 367 employees working in the private sector in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The data were collected by using a questionnaire consisting of four sections. The results showed a significant relationship between the three dimensions of job burnout. Also, the relationship between job stress and emotional exhaustion (EE) and depersonalization (DP) dimensions was positive, whereas the personal accomplishment (PA) dimension was negative. In contrast, self-efficacy showed a significant negative relationship with EE and DP dimensions and a positive relationship with PA dimension. Moreover, the study revealed a negative relationship between the independent variables, which are job stress and self-efficacy. In addition, the results of path analysis supported these findings.

SPARC 2017 retrospect & prospects : Salford postgraduate annual research conference book of abstracts

Welcome to the Book of Abstracts for the 2017 SPARC conference. This year we not only celebrate the work of our PGRs but also the 50th anniversary of Salford as a University, which makes this year’s conference extra special. Once again we have received a tremendous contribution from our postgraduate research community; with over 130 presenters, the conference truly showcases a vibrant PGR community at Salford. These abstracts provide a taster of the research strengths of their works, and provide delegates with a reference point for networking and initiating critical debate. With such wide-ranging topics being showcased, we encourage you to exploit this great opportunity to engage with researchers working in different subject areas to your own. To meet global challenges, high impact research inevitably requires interdisciplinary collaboration. This is recognised by all major research funders. Therefore engaging with the work of others and forging collaborations across subject areas is an essential skill for the next generation of researchers
