Abstract
In order to research mutual influence relation among work pressure, job burnout and safety performance, improve locomotive driver’s safety performance, and ensure safe railway transport, this paper proposes a locomotive driver’s work pressure, job burnout and safety performance model which takes job burnout as intervening variable. By use of survey data on locomotive driver from Beijing Railway Bureau, this paper discusses the influence relation between 5 dimensions of work pressure and 3 dimensions of job burnout and safety performance through structural equation model. The research result shows that the job burnout plays an intermediate role between locomotive driver’s work pressure and safety performance, there exists positive correlation relation between work pressure and job burnout, and the work pressure has a prediction function on job burnout; there exists negative correlation relation between job burnout and safety performance, and the job burnout also has a prediction function on safety performance.
