Abstract
Job stress has been known as a major cause of well-being and work outcome
among medical doctors in hospitals. However, the previous study on stress
management among doctors in China still has received a little intention. Hence, this
study intends to examine the relationship between job stress, workload, work
environment, physical-ill health, mental-ill health and medical professionalism. In
addition, it also examines the role of humor as moderation effect on the relationship
among job stress, physical-ill health, mental-ill health and medical professionalism.
Survey Questionnaire has been distributed to the medical doctors at public hospitals
of Hebei Province, China. All of data was analysed by using structural equation
modeling (SEM) via partial least square (PLS). Findings indicated that workload had
significant impact on job stress, work environment had no significant impact on job
stress. Job stress had positive significant direct relationship on physical-ill health and
mental-ill health, however it showed negative relationship between job stress and
medical professionalism. Humor did not moderate the relationship between job stress
and its outcomes (physical-ill health, mental-ill health and medical professionalism).
