ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the influence of job burnout on subjective well-being and health status among employees in China.@*Methods@#The data from the 2014 China Labor-force Dynamic Survey were used to analyze the association of job burnout with subjective well-being and health status among 7289 employees aged 18-64 years from 29 provinces in China.Some items from the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey were used to investigate job burnout; subjective well-being assessment included life happiness and degree of satisfaction with living condition; the questions for self-evaluation of health status were used to analyze health status.@*Results@#Of all employees,30.5% had low subjective well-being and 4.7% had poor health status based on self-evaluation. The logistic regression analysis showed that emotional exhaustion(two items), reduced sense of personal accomplishment,and cynicism were risk factors for low subjective well-being(OR=1.07,1.11,1.10,and 1.06,P<0.001),and emotional exhaustion(two items)was a risk factor for poor health status (OR=1.10 and 1.07,P<0.001).Reduced sense of personal accomplishment and cynicism had no significant influence on health status(P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#Emotional exhaustion is a major influencing factor for health status,and reducing job burnout may be an effective method for improving subjective well-being and health status.
