Abstract

Job burnout has become a frequently faced problem which cannot be ignored for workers. It brings great damage to the physical and mental health of employees, which is generally caused by the individual’s inability to coordinate the balance of physical, psychological and emotional resources with job demands and pressure. The body is an important carrier of human beings. When the body is not in good condition, it will also have a significant impact on the physical and mental health of individuals and the working state of employees. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of employees’ body dissatisfaction on job burnout and the mediating role of self-efficacy. Specifically, through the theoretical perspective provided by the JD-R model, this paper uses cross-sectional design to collect demographic information, body satisfaction, self-efficacy and job burnout data of employees, and plans to use process mediation analysis to test hypotheses.
