Abstract

Purpose: To explore the relationship between job burnout in seafarers and subjective well-being and general self-efficacy, a structural equation model is constructed. Methods: This study conducted a questionnaire survey with seafarers as the research subjects, distributing a total of 451 questionnaires. Statistical analysis of the questionnaire data is performed using SPSS 26.0, and structural equation modeling is conducted using AMOS 24.0. Results: The constructed structural equation model demonstrated a good overall fit. Both subjective well-being and general self-efficacy are significantly negatively correlated with job burnout. Psychological resilience played a partially mediating role between subjective well-being and job burnout. Conclusion: Subjective well-being and general self-efficacy are two crucial influencing factors leading to job burnout in seafarers. Psychological resilience can mitigate job burnout levels by increasing subjective well-being, and it acts as a partial mediator between subjective well-being and job burnout.
