Emotional labor, job-related stress, and burnout in school leadership: insights from educational administrators.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPrevious studies in various professional domains have indicated that emotional labor is a significant predictor of burnout. However, inconsistent findings suggest the need to explore mediating factors. This study investigates the relationship between emotional labor and burnout among school administrators in Türkiye, focusing on the mediating role of job-related stress within the framework of the Job-Demand-Control-Support model.
methodsThe study employed a correlational cross-sectional survey design. Data were collected from 385 school administrators (principals and vice principals) in eight provinces in Türkiye using validated scales for emotional labor, job-related stress, and burnout. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Bootstrap analysis were used to test the direct and indirect relationships among variables.
resultsSEM results indicated that emotional labor significantly predicted job-related stress (β = 0.461, p <.001), and job-related stress strongly predicted burnout (β = 0.851, p <. 001). While emotional labor initially appeared to influence burnout directly (β = 0.475, p <.001), this effect became non-significant when job-related stress was introduced as a mediator, indicating full mediation. The model explained 80% of the variance in burnout.
conclusionsThe findings demonstrate that job-related stress fully mediates the relationship between emotional labor and burnout among school administrators. These results highlight the importance of organizational support mechanisms and the need to consider emotional demands in leadership roles to mitigate burnout.
