Abstract
This research aimed to study the factors that relate to job burnout in the organizations at KSA. There are 523 employees participating in this research from all sectors in Saudi Arabia. I used the electronic questionnaire to collect the data from the participants. Job satisfaction, job engagement, and organizational learning culture have a positive impact on the productivity of the employees in any organization, but on the other hand, job burnout will minimize productivity. The results of this research show that (1) there is a positive relationship between organizational learning culture and job engagement and (2) organizational learning culture is positively related to job satisfaction. Furthermore, (3), there is a positive relationship between job satisfaction and job engagement. On the other hand, (4) there is a negative relationship between job satisfaction and job burnout, (5) and also, job engagement and job burnout are negatively related to each other. These findings suggest that the job burnout of employees could be minimized through enhancing the learning culture in the organization, which will eventually lead to job engagement and job satisfaction.
