Burnout among production line workers has become an issue for their physical and mental health and for the productive efficiency of companies. However, this large group of workers has received insufficient attention, particularly in exploring how employees' dispositional factors are associated with burnout. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the association between dispositional mindfulness and job burnout and the potential mediating roles played by perceived social support and psychological empowerment. Participants in the study included 780 production line workers recruited from a foreign company in China. Participants completed measures related to dispositional mindfulness, perceived social support, psychological empowerment, and job burnout. The results showed that (a) dispositional mindfulness was significantly related to lower burnout ( = -0.446, 95% CI [-0.552, -0.340]); (b) perceived social support ( = -0.073, 95% CI [-0.126, -0.025]) and psychological empowerment ( = -0.106, 95% CI [-0.171, -0.058]) mediated this association individually; and (c) perceived social support and psychological empowerment had a serial mediating effect in this context ( = -0.055, 95% CI [-0.095, -0.028]). This study revealed the association between dispositional mindfulness and job burnout, with an additional focus on how dispositional mindfulness correlates with other resources, such as perceived social support and psychological empowerment.
生产线工人的职业倦怠已成为影响他们身心健康以及公司生产效率的一个问题。然而，这一庞大的工人群体并未得到足够的关注，尤其是在探究员工的性格因素与职业倦怠之间的关联方面。因此，本研究旨在考察性格正念与工作倦怠之间的关联，以及感知到的社会支持和心理授权所起的潜在中介作用。该研究的参与者包括从中国一家外资企业招募的780名生产线工人。参与者完成了与性格正念、感知到的社会支持、心理授权和工作倦怠相关的测量。结果表明：（a）性格正念与较低的倦怠显著相关（β = -0.446，95%置信区间[-0.552，-0.340]）；（b）感知到的社会支持（β = -0.073，95%置信区间[-0.126，-0.025]）和心理授权（β = -0.106，95%置信区间[-0.171，-0.058]）分别在这一关联中起中介作用；（c）在这种情况下，感知到的社会支持和心理授权具有序列中介效应（β = -0.055，95%置信区间[-0.095，-0.028]）。本研究揭示了性格正念与工作倦怠之间的关联，还特别关注了性格正念如何与其他资源（如感知到的社会支持和心理授权）相关联。
