Job demands, Emotional Exhaustion and Ill Health among Academicians

    Job demands in the working environment contain motivation that requires energy and reduced health problems. The purpose of the current study has to examine the effect between demands, emotional exhaustion and ill health among academicians. The adapted questionnaires have been distributed among 215 public sector universities academicians. For the investigation, the Job Demand Resources (JD-R) model has been used. By using the regression model, the findings of the study concluded that demands like workload and role conflict have a significant effect on emotional exhaustion and ill health, which requires extra effort to accomplish the job as well as organizational goals. The current study will contribute to Job Demands Resources theory as well as recommendations for future research studies.
