Abstract

This research extended the findings on job burnout to a South Korean sample. To identify the validity of MBI-GS, various antecedents and consequences of job burnout were investigated using 556 South Korean employees. All materials were translated into Korean and construct variables had similar measurement characteristics and structures to U.S samples. As is true in the U.S., the three factor model of job burnout has sustained, and demands (work overload, role ambiguity) were found to be positively related to job burnout levels which was, in turn, related to lower levels of job satisfaction and stronger intentions to leave the job. In case of resources (supervisor and coworker support), the opposite direction was found.
