ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between neuroticism, coping styles, job satisfaction and burnout among physicians in Gansu Province’s infectious disease sentinel medical institutions. MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted using the Minnesota Satisfaction Scale short-form scale, Coping Style Scale, Burnout Scale, and Chinese Big Five Personality Questionnaire short-form scale on 8,071 physicians in all infectious disease sentinel medical institutions in Gansu Province. ResultsThere was a correlation between job satisfaction and burnout, coping styles, and neuroticism among doctors in Gansu Province infectious disease designated medical institutions (p < 0.05). Coping style mediated the relationship between job satisfaction and burnout. Neuroticism moderated the relationship between job satisfaction and burnout (t = −3.231, p < 0.05); neuroticism moderated the relationship between job satisfaction and positive coping (t = −10.927, p < 0.05); neuroticism moderated the relationship between positive coping and burnout (t = 4.097, p < 0.05); neurotic personality moderated the relationship between negative coping and burnout (t = −2.710, p < 0.01). ConclusionJob satisfaction influences burnout among physicians in an infectious disease sentinel care facility through the mediating role of coping styles and the moderating role of neurotic personality.
