Abstract:

In order to explore the job burnout status of pilots in different periods of major public health emergencies and the influence mechanism of career resilience on job burnout, taking the COVID-19 epidemic as an example, the pilots of seven airlines in China were investigated twice during the epidemic prevention and control period and after the release of prevention and control policies by the career resilience scale, job embeddedness scale and job burnout scale. And the Process macro program was used for hypothesis testing. The results show that during the prevention and control period of the COVID-19 epidemic, nearly 34.5% of pilots show mild and moderate job burnout. After the release of the prevention and control policy, the level of pilot burnout decreases, and the detection rate of burnout is 27.5%, which is basically mild. During the epidemic prevention and control period and after the policy is liberalized, career resilience is significantly negatively correlated with job burnout and its three dimensions, and career resilience has a significant negative impact on job burnout. During the epidemic prevention and control period and after the policy is liberalized, job embeddedness plays a partial mediating effect among the dimensions of career resilience, job burnout, emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. The mediating effects of job embeddedness in the two periods are 31.58% and 36.67%, respectively. Improving the career resilience and job embeddedness of pilots can effectively deal with the job burnout of pilots in major public health emergencies.

Key words: major public health emergencies, pilots, career resilience, job burnout, job embeddedness
