Workplace risks and stressors as predictors of burnout: The moderating impact of job control and team efficacy
Air medical healthcare (AMH) professionals tend to experience additional health and safety issues beyond the “typical” stressors faced by other healthcare professionals. The following literature reviews examines the relationship between workplace stressors (risk perception, worries, and patientācare barriers) and two components of burnout (emotional exhaustion; depersonalization), and the moderating impact of job control and team efficacy for 106 Canadian AMH professionals. Worries over medical hassles and barriers to patient care uniquely predicted emotional exhaustion. Lack of perceived control over one’s job was related to exhaustion and depersonalization after controlling for stressors.
