title: A brief note on further investigating correlates of work exhaustion for medical technologists.
abstract: Using a sample of 184 medical technologists (MTs) over a three-year period, this study found support for the hypothesis that downsizing leads to higher job loss insecurity and task load perceptions, which both lead to increased work exhaustion. As such this study extends previous research on MT work exhaustion by Blau, Tatum and Ward-Cook. Study limitations and future research issues are briefly discussed.
