There was an 83% (171/207) response rate. Thirteenpercent of the coordinators reported high, 70% moderate, and 17%low job satisfaction scores. Thirty-nine percent of the coordinatorsreported high, 25% moderate, and 36% slight work-related burnoutrates. Correlation coefficient showed a significantly negative relationshipbetween job satisfaction and work-rated burnout, (rs[169] =-0.402, p < 0.01). Regression analysis showed co-workers (β = -0.47)and supervision (β = -0.16) domains of the job satisfaction scale weresignificant predictors of work-related burnout (R = 0.55; F[5, 195] =11.05; p < .001).Conclusions. The findings highlight the importance of job satisfactionfactors, such as support from coworkers and supervisors, indealing with work-related burnout among residency coordinators.Kans J Med 2019;12(1):11-16.
