In addition, we study the impact of role overload as a boundary condition which dampens the beneficial effects of job autonomy.Methods: Cross-sectional data was collected through an online survey among Canadian health care workers (HCWs) across multiple organizations. We performed structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the proposed hypotheses (N=860).Results: Job autonomy had a positive relationship with resilience and negative with emotional exhaustion, both through PSC. However, high role overload hinders these relationships.Conclusion: Job autonomy combined with reasonable workload allows HCWs to invest in themselves in the form of PSC, which in turn alleviates their emotional exhaustion and fosters their resilience. Accordingly, this helps HCWs in overcoming both current and future adverse events at work. Valuing autonomy and PSC through communication and contextualized human resource management practices will help support HCWs and health care organizations in turn. Indeed, nurturing resilience and reducing emotional exhaustion will provide and protect the needed individual resources to face future disruptive events, consequently leading to strengthen health care organizations.Keywords: job autonomy, role overload, psychological self-care, resilience, emotional exhaustion

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
