| Abstract | ||||
| The present study investigates the connection between job stress and job satisfaction using an empirical survey conducted on employees from the private sector in Saudi Arabia. With focus on the JD-R model, the study seeks to establish the effect of work overload, role conflict, and work-family conflict as contributors to job stress, on burnout, job satisfaction, and turnover intention. An electronic structured questionnaire was administered to 254 respondents, and their data was analyzed by SPSS and AMOS. The results confirm the direct impact of job stress on burnout and the significant cause of work-family conflict as driving emotional exhaustion. In addition, the findings confirm the existence of the negative correlation between burnout and job satisfaction. Mediation analysis confirmed the foregoing hypothesis that burnout is significantly accountable for the indirect impact of stress on satisfaction. The study suggests employers to formulate appropriate work policies and provide appropriate psychological help in order to reduce stress and improve employee retention and engagement. | ||||
