The Relationship between Perceived Stigma and Job Burnout among Macao Migrant Workers – Mediation Moderated of Organization Support and Self-Efficacy Examination
Wei Hong, Chen Zhi Yi
ABSTRACT:
Macao migrant workers comprise of a half workforce in Macao employment market but being stigmatized is a characteristic of the group. Previous studies focus on stigmatized demographic groups and their behaviors, but job burnout of the workplace has been largely ignored. This paper investigates relationships between Macao migrant workers’ perceived stigma and their job burnout. Using mature scale and designed questionnaire, we collected 312 samples. Findings found that being stigmatized leads to job burnout (b=0.24, p<0.001) while role stress transmits effects. Further, we tested negatively moderated variables including self-efficacy and organization support in the function. Results supported our hypotheses and were in line with conservation of resource theory and job-demand theory. We contribute to stigmatization study and extended stigmatization from sociology to the workplace study. We contend that Macao government, society and employers need to give sufficient support to migrant workers and buffer stigmatization influences, reducing their job burnout and improving their health and wellbeing.
