Abstract

The purposes of this study were 1) to identify the factors of job burnout, work performance, organizational identification among undergraduate university teachers in Yunnan.  2) To analyze the influencing factors of job burnout affecting the work performance among undergraduate university teachers in Yunnan. 3) To examine the organizational identification as the moderating variable affect the job burnout and work performance among undergraduate university teachers in Yunnan. The sample group consisted of teachers using Yamane’s formula, to be 737 teachers. The research instrument used in this study was a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed by finding frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient, and path analysis. The research results can be summarized as follows:

1) The factors of job burnout and work performance have a high level (=5.773 S= 0. 929 and =3.467 S=1.420), except organizational identification is moderate level (=3.371 S=1.164).

 2) The path coefficients of the structural equation model, there is significant correlation between emotional exhaustion and work performance (standardized path coefficient = -0.302, p < 0.001), depersonalization and work performance (standardized path coefficient = -0.325, p < 0.001), reduced personal accomplishment and work performance (standardized path coefficient = -0.288, p < 0.001).

3) The organizational identification as the moderating variable affects the job burnout and work performance are significant (t = -6.259, p = 0.000 < 0.05, t= -6.737 p=0.000<0.05, t= -6.230, p=0.000<0.05).
