Improving perceived social support could reduce burnout and enhance subjective wellbeing.Īs the proportion of women in the workforce continues to rise, women’s health has become an issue of global concern. A significant difference was observed between male and female doctors female doctors experienced more emotional exhaustion and lower subjective wellbeing than male doctors. Perceived social support, especially from family, played a moderating role between emotional exhaustion and subjective wellbeing, and the moderating effect was significant ( p < 0.01). The three dimensions of job burnout and subjective wellbeing exhibited significant negative correlations, and a positive relationship was found between perceived social support and subjective wellbeing in female doctors ( p < 0.01). Female doctors scored significantly higher than male doctors in the emotional exhaustion dimension ( p < 0.01), and female doctors’ subjective wellbeing was lower than that of male doctors ( p < 0.01). Participants consisted of 120 female and 120 male doctors from a hospital of Yantai City. Three self-reporting scales (Maslach Burnout Inventory, Perceived Social Support Scale and Subjective Wellbeing Scale) were distributed to participants, who were selected through random sampling. A casual comparative study design was used for this research. In this study we explore the influence of job burnout on female clinical doctors’ subjective wellbeing and the moderating role of perceived social support. The dual pressures of work and family make female doctors less happy and more likely to experience burnout, but few studies have focused on female doctors.
