Abstract Background Job embeddedness and professional self-concept are among the important nursing components, the existence of which help decrease occupational burnout among nurses. This study aimed to determine the protective role of Professional Self-concept and Job embeddedness on nurses’burnout. Methods This descriptive, correlational study had a predictive design and was conducted on nurses working in training and healthcare centers of Babol University of Medical Sciences in 2019. In total, 308 nurses participated in this study and were selected by stratified random sampling. In addition, data were collected using demographic characteristics questionnaire, Professional Self-concept questionnaire, Job embeddedness scale and nurses’ burnout questionnaire. Moreover, data analysis was performed in SPSS version 25 and Smart PLS version 3.3 using correlational statistics and structural equation modeling. Results Both the variables of professional self-concept and job embeddedness, had a significant effect on nurses’ burnout at 99% confidence level (P < 0.001) and the negative beta value for these two variables shows the inverse relationship between both professional self-concept and job embeddedness with nurses’ burnout. The value of the coefficient of determination for burnout indicates that both the variables of professional self-concept and job embeddedness, together explain 78% of the changes in the variable of burnout. The beta coefficient for professional self-concept (− 0.50) is higher than the same coefficient for job embeddedness (− 0.42). As a result, the role of professional self-concept in predicting burnout of clinical nurses has been more than the role of job embeddedness. The indirect effect of professional self-concept on burnout of clinical nurses mediated by job embeddedness has been equal to − 0.347. As a result, it can be said that nurses’ professional self-concept has a significant effect on nurses’ burnout through mediation of job embeddedness. Conclusion According to the results of the study, Professional Self-concept had an effective role in nurses’ burnout. In other words, the higher the Professional Self-concept of nurses, the lower their burnout. Therefore, it is suggested that effective interventional strategies be designed by nursing managers through better planning and a supportive workplace be established to improve Professional Self-concept among nurses and decrease their burnout.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of professional self-concept, job overload, and perceived organizational support on job involvement in clinical nurses. Methods: The participants in this study were 232 nurses who were working in five general hospitals in city D. Data was collected using self-reported questionnaires from August 16 to September 15, 2016. The data was analyzed using the IBM SPSS 19.0 program. Results: Job involvement of clinical nurses was influenced by professional self-concept, perceived organizational support, turnover intention, age, and monthly income. These variables explained 47.6% of job involvement of clinical nurses, and professional self-concept was the most significant factor in job involvement. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the job involvement of clinical nurses is influenced by professional self-concept and perceived organizational support. Consequently, it is necessary to increase professional self-concept and perceived organizational support for nurses' job involvement.

Актуальность представленного исследования обусловлена его направленностью на решение задач, связанных с выявлением и диагностикой личностных характеристик, профессионально значимых для работы в условиях с высоким уровнем воздействия стресса и социальной ответственности. Целью представленной эмпирической работы выступило изучение толерантности к неопределенности у профессионалов с разным уровнем доверия к себе. Выборку составили летчики, направленные в госпиталь для прохождения плановой медицинской комиссии. Применялся комплекс методик, позволяющих получить психологические, профессиональные, социально-демографические характеристики. Уровень толерантности к неопределенности определялся с помощью «Нового опросника толерантности к неопределенности» Т.В. Корниловой. Для выявления особенностей доверия к себе применялась «Методика изучения доверия к себе» Н.Б. Астаниной. На основе статистических процедур были выделены 4 группы летчиков с разным уровнем доверия к себе и описаны психологические профили каждой из групп. Эмпирически показано, что базовое доверие личности к себе тесно связано с такими психологическими феноменами как «профессиональная востребованность личности» и «толерантность к неопределенности», являющимися важными компонентами профессиональной я-концепции работников экстремальных профессий. Установлено также, что для военных летчиков, деятельность которых является совмещенной и требует координации действий с другими участниками в ходе выполнения полетных заданий, имеет значение не только толерантность к неопределенности относительно условий рабочей среды, но и толерантность в сфере межличностных отношений. The relevance of the study is due to its focus on solving problems associated with the identification and diagnosis of personality characteristics that are professionally significant for working in conditions with a high level of stress and social responsibility. The purpose of the empirical work presented was the study of tolerance for uncertainty among professionals with different levels of self-trust. The sample consisted of pilots sent to the hospital to undergo a planned medical commission. A set of techniques was used to obtain psychological, professional, socio-demographic characteristics. The level of uncertainty tolerance was determined using the “New uncertainty tolerance questionnaire” T.V. Kornilova. To identify the features of self - trust, the “Methodology for Studying Self-Trust” was used Astanaina. Based on statistical procedures, 4 groups of pilots with different levels of self-trust were identified and psychological profiles of each group were described. It is empirically shown that the basic self-trust of a person is closely connected with such psychological phenomena as “professional demand for personality” and “tolerance for uncertainty” as important components of the professional self-concept of workers in extreme professions. It was also established that for military pilots whose activities are combined and require coordination with other participants during the performance of flight tasks, not only tolerance to uncertainty regarding the working environment is important, but also tolerance in the field of interpersonal relations.
