Abstract

This thesis examines how gender acts as a potential moderator of the relationship between burnout and job performance. The impact of societal stereotypes, organizational structures, and individual differences, such as Five Factor Model (FFM) traits, interacts with gender to influence job performance. Workplace inequities between men and women continue to persist despite attempts to mitigate the gap. This review examines how experiences of burnout arise, how organizational and individual factors influence job performance, and finally, how gender interacts with this relationship. Women are disproportionately impacted by the imposition of societal expectations and organizational systems, which interact with individual traits (FFM and SPS) to exacerbate burnout. This reality leads to higher levels of burnout for women, affecting their job performance and demonstrating how gender moderates this relationship. Ultimately, this research considers gendered dynamics evident within organizations, which illuminates the need to create equitable policies to decrease workplace inequities and the consequential outcomes within broader societal issues like the gender wage gap.
