Since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, physicians have been the unsung heroes of the pandemic. However, many are about to give up the battlefield. This study investigated the effect of occupational moral injury on physicians' career abandonment intention, taking into account the possible mediating role of emotional exhaustion.
Cross-sectional data collected from 201 physicians were analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS to determine the relationship among physicians' moral injuries, emotional exhaustion, and career abandonment intention.
The results indicated that occupational moral injury was positively related to emotional exhaustion and career abandonment intention. In addition, emotional exhaustion was found to play a mediating role in the relationship.
To reduce physicians' intention to leave their career, physicians should be prepared for moral injury and psychological issues by offering psychological support and meeting their needs early at both the individual and organizational levels during and after the pandemic.
自新冠疫情爆发以来，医生一直是这场疫情中默默无名的英雄。然而，许多人即将放弃战场。本研究探讨职业道德伤害对医生职业放弃意向的影响，并考虑情感耗竭可能起到的中介作用。
使用SmartPLS软件，通过偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）对收集自201名医生的横断面数据进行分析，以确定医生的道德伤害、情感耗竭和职业放弃意向之间的关系。
结果表明，职业道德伤害与情感耗竭和职业放弃意向呈正相关。此外，发现情感耗竭在二者关系中起中介作用。
为降低医生的职业离职意向，应在疫情期间及之后，在个人和组织层面为医生提供心理支持并尽早满足他们的需求，帮助他们应对道德伤害和心理问题。
