    Job Decision Latitude and Job Burnout: A Moderated Mediation Model of Work Ability and Job Crafting
    (2023-04) Cole, Jessica L
    Job burnout is an occupational syndrome that has been widely researched; however, research considering employees’ varied work ability levels is sparse (Bakker & Demerouti, 2017). Job demands-resources (JD-R) theory (Bakker & Demerouti, 2007) was used as a framework to evaluate whether work ability moderated the mediating effect of job crafting on the relationship between job decision latitude and job burnout among a sample of working U.S. adults with varied levels of work ability. A convenience sample of 2,056 adults who responded to a recruitment message participated in this study. Participants completed an online survey that included sociodemographic and job-related items, as well as measures to evaluate levels of job decision latitude, work ability, job crafting, and job burnout. Results showed that job decision latitude had a significant predictive effect on job crafting and job burnout; job crafting played a mediating role in the relationship between job decision latitude and job burnout; work ability played a moderating role in the relationship between job decision latitude and job crafting, as well as the relationship between job decision latitude and job burnout. These findings add to research on the relationship between job decision latitude and job burnout and provide ideas for organizational members to better support employees with lowered work ability due to chronic disease and health conditions to reduce job burnout.

    Work Ability and Job Burnout: A Moderated Mediation Model of Health-Related Organizational Climate and Work-Health Management Interference
    (2023-05) McDonough, Mariah
    The purpose of this study was to determine how work ability, health-related organizational climate, and work health management interference (WHMI) contributed to burnout, with a particular interest in those with lower levels of work ability as a result of chronic illness/disease. The overall research objective was to examine whether healthrelated organizational climate moderated the mediating effect of work-health management interference on the relationship between work ability and job burnout. A convenience sample of 2,056 adults living and working in the United States who responded to a recruitment message participated in this study. Participants accessed a survey in Qualtrics via a link provided in an email or accessible via electronic posting and completed a survey that included sociodemographic and job-related items, as well as measures to evaluate levels of work ability, burnout, WHMI, and health-oriented organizational climate. Results showed that work ability had a significant predictive effect on burnout, WHMI played a mediating role in the relationship between work ability and burnout, and organizational health-related climate was found to play a moderating role in the relationship between work ability and WHMI. These findings add to research on the relationship between work ability and burnout and serve as a foundation for organizations to adapt and develop strategies to better support employees with lowered work ability due to chronic disease/health conditions in order to reduce job burnout and improve well-being and productivity.
