It turned out that nurses from prefecture-level hospitals who got low scores in introversion/extroversion, high scores in nervous disposition, high scores in spiritual disposition, and low scores in concealment orientation, were more prone to job burnout than the others, a trend reflected by the 412 nurses observed, that proves our conclusion that personality characteristics can to some extent contribute to retiring occupational pressure and fatigue as well.
