Abstract

Drawing on the job demands-resources model and self-determination theory, this study identifies administrative burden as an institutional determinant of job burnout and clarifies its psychological mechanism through perceived formalism. It also offers policy insights, suggesting that better regulatory oversight, information systems, job design, and the division of labor can reduce unnecessary administrative burden and alleviate job burnout among PHCPs.
