Evaluating the Impact of Internal Labour Law Training and Working Hour Regulation on Quality of Work Life and Fatigue: Evidence from the Healthcare Industry

Abstract

This study investigates the dynamics of work-related fatigue and burnout among physicians, employing mediation and moderation analysis to explore the interplay of key factors. By comprehensively examining burnout, quality of work life, shift rotation, internal labour law training programs, and working hour regulation, the study sheds light on their collective influence on physician well-being. Findings reveal that burnout, exacerbated by poor work-life quality and demanding shift rotations, significantly contributes to work-related fatigue. Furthermore, supportive legal frameworks and internal training programs serve as critical buffers against excessive workload and fatigue. By elucidating these relationships, the study underscores the importance of targeted interventions to mitigate burnout, enhance the quality of the work environment, and address the structural challenges posed by shift scheduling and regulatory compliance. Such measures hold promise for fostering physician resilience and optimising patient care outcomes within healthcare settings.
