Abstract
Objective: The objective of the study is to examine the level of organizational role stress and job burnout among doctors in private hospitals.
Methodology: Data were collected from 100 doctors working in private hospitals in northern India. Maslach burnout inventory (MBI) and Pareek’s organizational role stress (ORS) scale were used to measure the levels of burnout and role stress. Correlation and multiple regression analysis were conducted to analyze the results.
Results: The results of the study indicate that organizational role stress is highly correlated with job burnout. Doctors have shown low level of role stress and burnout. Stepwise multiple regression analyses suggested that Total ORS, Role Erosion, Role Overload, Resource Inadequacy,, Role Isolation, and Role Ambiguity are common Significant predictors of job burnout among doctors working in private hospitals.
