burnout, self-control and risk preference

This study examined the relationship between job burnout and risk preference among coal miners while investigating the mediating role of self-control. Data collected from 366 coal miners over six months revealed that job burnout indirectly influenced risk preference through self-control. Higher burnout levels were associated with lower self-control, which subsequently predicted increased risk preference. Additionally, risk preference had a direct longitudinal impact on burnout, indicating that miners with greater risk-seeking tendencies were more susceptible to burnout over time. These findings highlight the significance of self-control as a mediator in the job burnout-risk preference relationship.

本研究以煤矿矿工群体为研究样本，考察了职业倦怠与风险偏好之间的关联，并同步探讨了自我控制在二者间的中介作用。研究团队对366名矿工进行了为期六个月的数据收集，结果显示职业倦怠可通过自我控制对风险偏好产生间接影响：职业倦怠程度越高，个体的自我控制能力越薄弱，进而会推动其风险偏好水平提升。此外，风险偏好对职业倦怠存在直接的纵向影响，这意味着风险寻求倾向更强的矿工，随着时间推移更易产生职业倦怠。本研究结果凸显了自我控制作为中介变量，在职业倦怠与风险偏好关联机制中的重要价值。
