Abstract
The literature has shown that military members have serious psychological well-being (PWB) issues. However, very few studies have investigated PWB issues for Canadian military, especially employment equity (EE) groups, i.e., minorities. This study aims to investigate how job demands and resources are associated with PWB of Canadian military members and how burnout and affective commitment mediate these relationships. Additionally, this study examines whether there are differences between EE and non-EE groups. The data were retrieved from the 2022 CAF "Your Say Matters" survey. A total of 4,483 military members were used for our analysis. Using a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach, the mediational analysis was conducted via Mplus. Our findings showed most predictors were statistically significantly associated with PWB, and both burnout and affective commitment showed significant mediation effects. Compared to EE groups, non-EE males showed lower levels of psychological distress, job satisfaction and life satisfaction in general.
