Abstract
The undertaken study aims to investigate the magnitude of burnout that affects the employees.
This study also intends to explore the mediating effect of organizational commitment in a
relationship between job burnout and turnover intention. The data sample comprises of 1152
respondents, which was collected from the doctors and nursing staff of different private
hospital of Karachi through a structured questionnaire. For the analysis purposes, we have
employed descriptive statistics, structural equation modeling, and confirmatory factor
analysis. The modified model of this study showed both direct and indirect influence among
variables of interest. The research constructs job burnout, and its dimension, namely:
cynicism, emotional exhaustion, and professional efficacy have a direct effect on turnover
intention. The organizational commitment, along with its three constructs, including affective
commitment, continuous commitment, and normative commitment, has a mediating influence
in a relationship of job burnout and turnover intention. Job burnout levels among employees
of the healthcare sector also have a direct influence on organizational commitment.
