Abstract
Purpose of this research paper is to examine the role of personal demands-resources in reducing burnout through the
mediating part of Basic Need Satisfaction (BNS). With the help of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study
proposes that personal demands-resources could play a vital role in satisfying the basic psychological needs of
employees, which in turn could reduce the burnout of employees. Total of four hypotheses were developed after a
detailed literature review. By using judgmental sampling technique, multisource data was collected from 392 sales
professionals and their respective supervisors of insurance companies of Pakistan by using survey method. Structural
Equation Modeling (SEM) technique was used to analyze the data by using MPlus software. Results showed that
personal resources and personal demands could not impact burnout directly. However, basic need satisfaction fully
mediated between personal demands-resources and burnout relationship. This study also indicated future research
directions.
