Healthcare delivery relies on human resource management to ensure quality. However, employee performance dropped from 2019 to 2022, highlighting the need to address job fatigue, which lowers performance. This study examines how mindfulness and emotional intelligence mediate the effects of occupational fatigue on medical and paramedic performance. This integrated study intends to understand healthcare job performance and improve medical professionals' competency and well-being in Indonesia. A 5% margin of error was used to choose 213 medical staff and paramedics from the Mojokerto City Government Health Agency in Indonesia using the Slovin algorithm. The Sobel Test and SEM with AMOS were used to analyse data. Mindfulness and emotional intelligence decreased considerably with job burnout, affecting job performance. Mindfulness and emotional intelligence also improved job performance. The results also showed that emotional intelligence and mindfulness moderate the job burnout-performance link. These findings show that emotional and psychological aspects are crucial to understanding how job fatigue affects employee performance.

Police work is a high-stress occupation that exposes officers to violence, threats, and traumatic events daily. These experiences can cause significant personal distress and negatively impact performance. To cope with these stressful events, police officers employ various strategies. This study examined the coping strategies used by junior police officers at Pretoria's central police station, using Lazarus and Folkman's coping model. A qualitative, descriptive design was used to explore the experiences of nine junior officers through individual interviews. The results showed that junior officers primarily used emotional coping strategies rather than avoidance strategies. The identified coping mechanisms included religion, socialization, self-encouragement, motivation, work acceptance, and consultation with health professionals. The study recommends conducting longitudinal studies with larger samples across multiple police stations in Gauteng and among senior officers to further understand and support police officers' mental well-being.

The problem this study investigated was high rates of school leaders’ work-related stress results with mental illness and death. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the influence of work-related stress on emotional and psychological well-being and performance of school leaders in Vulindlela Circuit.  The study was premised within interpretivism, and we used interviews qualitative technique, to elicit data from 25 secondary school leaderships about their reflections and experiences with work-related stress. The interview transcripts were analysed using NVivo version 14, a program for qualitative data analysis, analyzing the reoccurring themes and patterns of the study, supplemented with narratives. The study discovered that role conflict, role ambiguity, and overload were common workplace stressors affecting the emotional and psychological well-being of school leaderships. The findings are important because they will serve as awareness and mitigation of school leaders’ work-related stress. The study recommends the rolling out of tailormade wellness programmes that will promote mental wellness, and support well-being and stress-reduction techniques through greater task clarity. This study contributes education research on school leadership workplace stressors in Vulindlela Circuit and larger South African context, by laying the groundwork for future studies on interventions to improve school leaderships' performance and well-being.

The study examines burnout and the factors that influence it, namely job satisfaction and well-being as mediators or intervening. This study used a descriptive quantitative approach to test three hypotheses, a data collection tool using a psychological scale. To collect research data, the authors adopted sources adapted to local culture and developed research instruments using psychological scales with Likert type. For data analysis, use SPSS and SEM-PLS. The research finding is that job satisfaction can directly affect burnout and indirectly, from job satisfaction to well-being (as an intervening variable), then to burnout. The magnitude of direct influence is 0.135, while the magnitude of indirect influence is 0.540. Since the coefficient of an indirect relationship is greater than that of a direct relationship, the actual relationship is indirect. Thus, the role of well-being as a mediator function optimally or fully.
