Research indicates that over 50% of pharmacists experience burnout, which arises from chronic occupational stress. Burnout includes three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced professional accomplishment. Unbalanced work conditions such as high physical demands and limited organizational support exacerbate burnout. Additionally, personality temperaments are thought to influence how pharmacists perceive job demands, access to resources, and vulnerability to burnout. Understanding one's personality may help mitigate burnout risk, as certain temperaments may be more sensitive to occupational stress. Alarmingly, fewer than 4% of pharmacists report awareness of available burnout resources. Two promising tools for addressing burnout are the Preferred Communication Style Questionnaire (PCSQ), a personality assessment, and the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, a framework that links workplace conditions to burnout risk. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the gold standard for measuring burnout, complements these tools. However, little research exists on how personality affects the experience of burnout in hospital pharmacists. This dissertation aimed to explore the role of personality temperaments in the relationships between job demands, job resources, and burnout. This research was guided by three objectives: (1) examine characteristics of hospital pharmacists, (2) analyze how personality temperaments relate to the three dimensions of burnout, and (3) assess the influence of temperament on JD-R model and burnout components. A cross-sectional, self-administered electronic survey was used to gather quantitative data on burnout dimensions, personality, job demands, job resources, and demographics. Four personality types, Traditionalists, Experiencers, Conceptualizers, and Idealists were examined within the JD-R framework. This research provides a comprehensive understanding of the individual and organizational factors influencing burnout in hospital pharmacists. Findings offer insights into how personality moderates the JD-R model and highlight opportunities to personalize interventions. The study’s practical implications include targeted recommendations for reducing burnout, improving pharmacist well-being, and increasing awareness and use of burnout resources. Ultimately, the results support a refined JD-R model that incorporates personality as a key factor in addressing pharmacist burnout.","abstract_html":"Hospital pharmacist burnout is a critical issue that affects mental and physical well-being, impairs job performance, and compromises patient safety.
