Introduction: The job burnout experience in hospital staff reduces their services quality to patients and society in addition to threating the health of themselves. The purpose of this research is to predict job burnout based on the meaning in life and emotion regulation in hospital staff of Zanjan city.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-correlation study was conducted in 2022 on 110 employees of one of the hospitals in Zanjan. Data were gathered by Maslesh's job burnout, Grass's emotion regulation, and Steger's meaning in life questionnaires. Statistical analysis of data was done with Pearson's correlation test and stepwise regression.
Results: There is a significant relationship between job burnout, meaning in life and emotion regulation (p<0.01). In addition, the meaning in life is a stronger predictor (with a coefficient of -0.537) for job burnout. This variable alone predicts 28% of the variance of burnout (p<0.001). In the second step of the analysis, the emotion regulation variable increased the prediction power to 32.6% (p<0.001).
Conclusion: According to the findings, the effect of the life meaning on job burnout is more than emotion regulation. This article indicates that the meaning in life is one of the important concepts in job burnout, but in researches, less attention has been paid to it. However, it may be possible to prevent or reduce burnout by taking advantages of the positive consequences of meaning in life (presence or search).

Background: Occupational accident in ports with enormous transports and handling materials is probable, although preventable. Scientific documents have been reported a direct and strong relation between human personality, psychological factors, safety perceptions and accidents in industries and organizations. Present study (2014) has been designed in a port was located in the south of Iran to assess job burnout and safety climate components which are effective on occupational accidents.
Materials and methods: All workers of an active company (n=60) in an Iranian south ports were included in the present cross-sectional study. Job burnout and safety climate were assessed by Maslach and Vinodkumar questionnaires, respectively. In addition, Demographic data and occupational accidents were survived applying a self-reporting questionnaire. Data was analyzed by t-test, Pearson correlation and ANOVA, using SPSS V20.
Results: The age was 31.58±5.71 and also, work experience was 7.75±4.78 years. Regard to outcomes of analysis, job burnout score was calculated as 76.17±8.9 and safety climate was determined equals to 188.7±23.07. There were significant differences (p<0.05) associated with job burnout and safety climate (r=- 0.44). Also, a significant relationship were between job burnout, safety climate and their components with reported accidents (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results indicate a relation between job burnout, safety climate and occupational accident. Therefore, it is important to prevent and manage burnout through some specific actions like occupational software and hardware redesign approaches. Applying an Integrating macroergonomics and safety climate model in a socio-technical system framework for safety climate improvement was recommended to manage workplace condition and accident prevention.
