The Causal relationship between neuroticism, job stress and work-family conflict with turnover intention and life satisfaction through mediating role of job burnout in employees of Karoun Oil and Gas Company

The purpose of this study was investigating the causal relationship between neuroticism, job stress and work-family conflict with turnover intention and life satisfaction through mediating role of job burnout. The research method is descriptive correlational. The research population consisted of all employees of Karoun Oil and Gas Company in 2018. The sample consisted of 265 employees of Karoun Oil and Gas Company who were selected by simple random sampling method. Big Five Factor Personality (Costa & McCrae, 1992), Job Stress (Parker & De Cotiis, 1983), Work- Family Conflict (Carlson et al., 2000), Job Burnout (Maslach, 1982), Turnover Intention (Cammann et al., 1979) and Life Satisfaction (Diener et al., 1985) questionnaires were used for data collecting. The proposed model was evaluated using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using AMOS and SPSS software version 22. Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effects in the proposed model. The findings showed that the final model has suitable fitness to research data. The results showed that all direct and indirect paths were significant (p < 0/05). In other words, neuroticism through job burnout on turnover intention (β=0/074, p=0/001) and life satisfaction (β=-0/092, p=0/001), job stress through job burnout on turnover intention (β=0/058, p=0/001) and life satisfaction (β=-0/074, p=0/001), and work-family conflict through job burnout on turnover intention (β=0/124, p=0/001) and life satisfaction (β=-0/154, p=0/001) have indirect effect.
