Abstract
In this study, we adopt a stress-strain-outcome framework and conceptualize work overload as a stress, work exhaustion as a strain, and job satisfaction as an outcome. We argue that professional self-efficacy is a coping mechanism, place it as a moderator, and hypothesize that it would attenuate the effects of 1) work overload on work exhaustion and 2) work exhaustion on job satisfaction. We test the model by using survey data collected from 144 IT professionals in Finland by means of the Partial Least Squares technique. The findings suggest that work overload has a significant positive effect on work exhaustion, work exhaustion has a significant negative effect on job satisfaction, and professional self-efficacy attenuates both of these relationships. These findings imply that managers need to keep in mind the possible risks from work overload and exhaustion. Furthermore, they should try to improve their employees’ professional self-efficacy to mitigate these risks.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
