| description | The study explored the mediating role of nurses’ general self-concept on the relationship between job satisfaction and burnout among a sample of 170 nurses in two Nigerian public health facilities. Three self-report measures were used to collect data for nurses’ general self-concept, job satisfaction and burnout from the participants. The study combined correlation and cross-sectional survey design. The result of the Pearson r correlation showed that nurses’ general self-concept correlated positively with job satisfaction but both of them correlated negatively with burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment). Further analysis with conditional process analysis (Hayes, 2013) showed that nurses’ general self-concept mediated the relationship between job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction and reduced personal accomplishment, but it did not mediate the relationship between job satisfaction and depersonalization. The discussion was based on the findings while limitations, suggestions for future studies and implications of the findings were highlighted. |
