Objective: This study aimed to investigate the burnout model based on physical health status and brain-behavioral system by mediation of job stress in employees of Abadan Oil Company. Method: The type of research is structural equation and the statistical population was all the employees working in Abadan Oil Company of which 255 people were selected by purposive sampling. The participants responded to Moslesh and Jackson’s job burnout scale (1981), Spence et al.’s physical health status (1987), Carver and White’s brain-behavioral systems 1994) and Parker and Dekutis’s occupational psychological pressure (1983) questionnaires. Data analysis was done using structural equation modeling. Results: Findings showed that physical health and behavioral activating brain system have a direct and inverse effect on burnout and behavioral inhibition system and job stress have a direct and positive effect on burnout. By increasing the activity of the behavioral activator system, the feeling of job burnout and fatigue decreases and with the increase in the activity of the behavioral inhibitory system and the perceived stress in the job, the level of job burnout increases. Also physical condition and two behavioral activation / inhibitory systems can play a role in the formation of burnout by affecting job stress. It was also found that the proposed model is suitable for data. Based on this, it has been determined that the increase in job burnout can be caused by several factors, such as weak physical health or underlying diseases that are not suitable for the chosen job, as well as the increasing activity of the inhibitory behavioral brain system and impaired behavioral activation system and job stress can be one of the characteristics of any job, can mediate this relationship. Conclusion: According to the present findings, we can conclude that physical health, improvement of the behavioral activation system, and job stress reduction decrease the rate of job burnout. Since employment in industrial organizations is associated with risks and traumatic conditions, no matter how hard the organization tries, their mental and physical health is facing risks, and can lead to job burnout. So the factors such as lack of physical health disruption of the activator system and increased activity of the inhibitory-behavioral system can increase job burnout by increasing stressful conditions in the work environment.

Objective: With respect to increase of job stress and disease that arise from stress in work environments, purpose of this study was investigated the role of effort-reward imbalance and demand-control-support model in accession of psychosomatic symptoms at staff of a company in Ahwaz. Method: The statistical population comprised of all personnel of a company in Ahwaz who worked at 1392. The sample consisted of 202 employees, who were selected by simple random sampling method and answered to the effort-reward imbalance, job content, and psychosomatic symptoms in nonclinical context questionnaires. Fitness of the proposed model was examined through structural equation modeling (SEM), using SPSS-18 and AMOS-18 software packages. The indirect effects were tested using the bootstrap procedure. Findings: Findings indicated that the proposed model fit the data properly. Also mediating role of overcommitment in effort-reward imbalance model and mediating role of social support in demand-control-support model were confirmed. Conclusion: With respect to the results, variables that apply at this study, special variables that had a mediating role should be regarded at schedules to reduce job ills and increase of staff health.
