Among healthcare professionals, burnout is one of the key challenges affecting organizational outcomes, employee productivity and quality of care. The knowledge of burnout and its root causes and primary contributors continues to grow yet remains limited. In many environments, an entrepreneurial orientation (EO) has been shown to dramatically improve organizational outcomes and performance. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate critical research areas at the intersection of organizational EO and employee burnout within the healthcare sector.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: A conceptual model which considers how EO has the potential to provide an operational context that may negate, lessen or delay the negative effects of burnout among healthcare professionals, is advanced as a useful focal point to foster research exploring connections between organizational orientation and employee well-being.
Insights into how an opportunity-embracing EO characteristic of high-tech firms may shape how stress is experienced and address burnout when applied to healthcare organizations. A decrease in burnout stands to improve quality of care as well as the satisfaction of staff and patients alike, including a greater sense of autonomy, engagement, motivation and passion.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: This research agenda proposes new insights and the need for additional research into how the manifestation of organizational EO may contribute to the field of medicine, influence burnout and enhance the well-being among healthcare professionals.
在医疗保健专业人员中， burnout（职业倦怠）是影响组织成果、员工生产力和护理质量的关键挑战之一。尽管人们对 burnout 的原因及其主要促成因素的了解不断增加，但仍然有限。在许多环境中，创业导向（EO）已被证明可以显著改善组织成果和绩效。本文的目的是说明组织 EO 和医疗保健部门员工 burnout 交叉点的关键研究领域。
设计/方法/途径：提出了一个概念模型，该模型考虑了 EO 如何提供一个运营环境，可能否定、减轻或延迟医疗保健专业人员 burnout 的负面影响，作为一个有用的焦点来促进探索组织方向与员工福祉之间联系的研究。
深入了解高科技公司的机会型 EO 特征如何影响压力的体验，并在应用于医疗保健组织时解决 burnout 问题。减少 burnout 有助于提高护理质量，以及提高员工和患者的满意度，包括更大的自主权、参与度、动机和激情。
原创性/价值：该研究议程提出了新的见解，并需要进一步研究组织 EO 的表现如何为医学领域做出贡献、影响 burnout 并增强医疗保健专业人员的幸福感。
