The non-profit sector in China has expanded significantly in the past few decades. However, employees in non-profits experience high burnout rates, indicating a need to study non-profit work conditions and their effect on employees. This study applies the job demands and resources (JD-R) model and examines the effects of job demands (JD) and job resources (JR) on burnout and psychological distress experienced by non-profit employees, recruited via quota sampling, across China ( = 233). The findings from path analysis showed that JR had strong and negative effects on burnout and on psychological distress, while JD had strong and positive effects on burnout and on psychological distress. Burnout partially mediated the relations between JD-R and psychological distress. These results highlight the importance of JD-R in reducing burnout and psychological distress in non-profit employees in China. Research and practice implications are discussed.
在过去几十年里，中国的非营利部门显著扩张。然而，非营利组织的员工倦怠率很高，这表明有必要研究非营利组织的工作条件及其对员工的影响。本研究应用工作要求与资源（JD-R）模型，通过配额抽样在中国招募了233名非营利组织员工，考察工作要求（JD）和工作资源（JR）对他们的倦怠和心理困扰的影响。路径分析结果表明，JR对倦怠和心理困扰有强烈的负面影响，而JD对倦怠和心理困扰有强烈的正面影响。倦怠在JD-R与心理困扰之间的关系中起部分中介作用。这些结果凸显了JD-R在中国非营利组织员工中减少倦怠和心理困扰方面的重要性。本文还讨论了研究和实践意义。
