| Civil servants function as both social administrators and servants, and their mental health and behavior have direct impacts on the society. Thus, it is a newly developed hot field to study civil servants' mental status and genetic mechanism. Based on the comprehensive related literature review, the study was conducted with a certain proportion of provincial civil servants in form of questionnaire survey. Besides, the impacts of demo-metric variables on occupational stress, job satisfaction and job burnout were illustrated by means of ANOVA; the correlation among these three factors was discussed by using correlation analysis; civil servants' job burnout was predicted via regression analysis. The main findings are as follows:1. The overall occupational value is 2.784, indicating comparatively slight pressure; the overall job satisfaction value is 3.334, showing high satisfaction; the value of emotional exhaustion is 1.838, cynicism, 1.646, and sense of achievement, 2.745, which mean low level of job burnout.2. Civil servants' occupational stress, job satisfaction and job burnout are, to some extent, affected by various demo-metric variables, of which some factors, such as gender, marital status, working hours, etc. function significantly.3. The correlations among occupational stress, job satisfaction and job burnout are as follows:(1) The more severe is civil servants' occupational stress; the lower is their job satisfaction.(2) The more severe is civil servants' occupational stress; the more acute is their job satisfaction. Specifically, the factors of stress, except for anxiety and tiredness showing no significant correlation to low sense of achievement, relate positively to job burnout, being adequate to predict the burnout.(3) The higher is civil servants' job satisfaction; the slighter is the job burnout. To be specific, the factors of job satisfaction, except for external satisfaction showing no significant correlation to low sense of achievement, relate negatively to job burnout, being adequate to predict the burnout.(4) Occupational stress does not absolutely affect job burnout directly. Between them, job satisfaction has the mediatory effect. |
