Abstract: Background: There is literature scarcity relating to burnout and other work stresses in relation to Chinese nursing-workforce performance. Objectives: To assess the relationship between self-esteem versus burnout; and effort-reward ratio versus favorability to the work environment, among Chinese nurses.
