Burnout, Psychological Safety, Perceived Organizational Support and Job Satisfaction among Healthcare Academic Faculties

Abstract

Academic faculty serve as the cornerstone of institutional success in higher education, particularly within healthcare institutions where the triad of teaching, research, and service creates uniquely demanding environments. Unlike other faculty groups, healthcare academic educators shoulder dual responsibilities— the academic duties such as teaching and research, and clinical supervision of students in real-world healthcare settings. This dual role exposes them to high levels of stress and makes them more vulnerable to burnout.
