Job Demands, Burnout, and Engagement among Nurses: A Multi-level Analysis of ORCAB Data Investigating the Moderating Effect of Teamwork
This study tests the JD-R model using multilevel analysis to test the main and moderating effects of teamwork effectiveness among 1156 nurses in 93 departments from seven European countries.

Emotional and organizational demands were negatively associated with dedication. Teamwork effectiveness was positively associated with engagement. We found no evidence for the moderating effect of teamwork effectiveness in reducing individual perceptions of demands. (Source: Burnout Research)
