burnout was 81.70; both of them were at moderate level. Organizational commitment,
emotional sub-aspect, and continuous sub-aspect were directly and significantly related to
occupational burnout (P≤0.01). In addition, there was a significant relationship between
occupational burnout and gender so that it was higher in women compared with men
