Abstract
Although exhaustion and cynicism are two dimensions of burnout, due to professionalism, they have different influence on the turnover intentions of medical social workers. Using a sample of 405 medical social workers in China, this study found that the influence mechanisms of exhaustion and cynicism on turnover intention are different. Social work educational background has a significant moderation effect on the relationships between exhaustion, cynicism, and turnover intention. A moderation effect of organizational type was also observed, although it was not significant.
