Description
Chunxiao Zhao, Jinghua Qi, and Yuxiang Chen survey burnout among managers on Chinese metro construction sites, testing a classic demands-and-resources model in a 2026 study. Burnout research hugs healthcare and teaching, leaving high-risk project work thinly covered. A pilot round of 140 replies tuned the scales, then a formal survey gathered 274 valid responses. Burnout was scored through exhaustion, cynicism, and fading professional efficacy.
Exhaustion and cynicism scored clearly higher than lost efficacy. Heavier job demands tracked with more burnout, while richer job resources tracked with less. Workload carried the largest single weight on the demand side. On the resource side, social support, fair distribution, and career development chances protected most strongly. The authors say the model travels well to metro sites, and they name workload control plus those three resources as the practical levers, while noting that one-off surveys show association, not cause.
