title: [Study on status and influential factors of job burnout among supervisors and teachers].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate job burnout status and influential factors and to offer a new solution for intervention with job burnout.
  
  
  METHODS
  1250 participants were sampled with stratified cluster random methods from various kinds of occupations, including administrators, teachers in high schools and so on. Participants were asked to fill out serials questionnaires.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Male workers showed significantly more depersonalization and burnout than female workers. And there were no significant differences in the dimensions of job burnout. Younger, earlier job, financially strained, low academic career and single marital status were liable to suffer from job burnout. There was a significantly negative correlative relation between social support, internal locus of control, active coping style and burnout; there was a significantly positive relation between occupational stress, external locus of control, locus of control, passive coping style and burnout. Demographic characteristic (younger, earlier job, financially strained, low academic career and single marital status), occupational stress, social support, locus of control and coping style were influential factors of burnout. Occupational stress was a significant predictor for burnout. Not only could occupational stress have a direct effect on burnout, but also be indirectly affected by moderators such as health locus of control.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There are differences on the dimensions of burnout varied with demographic characteristic; Moderators such as locus of control may in part mediate the association between occupational stress and job burnout.
