JOB STRESSORS, JOB BURNOUT AND WORK ENGAGEMENT: DO WORK-FAMILY CONFL ICT AND TYPE-A BEHAVIOUR PLAY ROLES IN REGULATING THEM?

The objective of our study was to examine whether work-family conflicts and type A behaviour pattern mediate in the dependence between job stressors, job burnout, and work engagement. According to the job demands, we assumed that job stressors would influence job burnout and involvement by means of the variable of work-family conflict. Whereas type A behaviour pattern would moderate the effect of job stressors upon job burnout and work engagement. The examined group comprised medical staff (N = 282). The research results support the hypothesis to a large extent. The results confirm significantly the assumptions of the job demands – resources model, and they suggest developing the model.
