Abstract:

In order to explore antecedent variables that affect bus drivers' driving anger and their influencing mechanism, a mediation model among organizational identity, job burnout and driving anger was put forward with job burnout as an intermediary variable. Then, 583 bus drivers in Xi'an were surveyed by using organizational identity scale, burnout scale and driving anger scale. Finally, the model was verified by utilizing Process macro program. The results show that violations and egoism of other traffic subjects are more likely to induce driving anger of bus drivers. Organizational identity can significantly predict anger and burnout in a negative way, with the latter playing a completely mediating role between organizational identity and driving anger. In another words, the identity affects driving anger completely through burnout.

Key words: bus driver, organizational identity, driving anger, occupational burnout, mediating role
