Abstract
Burnout has a negative impact on organizational outcomes' efficiency and effectiveness, hence harming and threatening its survival. The present study investigated the impact of job stress and self-efficacy on job burnout dimensions. Participants in this research were 367 employees working in the private sector in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The data were collected by using a questionnaire consisting of four sections. The results showed a significant relationship between the three dimensions of job burnout. Also, the relationship between job stress and emotional exhaustion (EE) and depersonalization (DP) dimensions was positive, whereas the personal accomplishment (PA) dimension was negative. In contrast, self-efficacy showed a significant negative relationship with EE and DP dimensions and a positive relationship with PA dimension. Moreover, the study revealed a negative relationship between the independent variables, which are job stress and self-efficacy. In addition, the results of path analysis supported these findings.

Summary
Job burnout in the field of labor productivity has been an active issue that has been addressed by many practitioners and researchers. It does affect the individuals negatively, but it costs the organizations in the United States approximately US$50 to US$75 million annually (Mardani, Mardani, 2014). A number of studies found that job burnout is a consequence of job stress, which is a significant factor in reducing efficacy in the workplace (Mardani, Mardani, 2014). While burnout represents a vital and one of the foremost frequently studied outcomes of job stress, self-efficacy is believed to protect workers from adverse job stress outcomes because it can modify their beliefs (Shoji et al, 2016)
