This study aimed to examine the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS), job satisfaction (JS), self-efficacy (SE), and JB, alongside their mechanism of interplay. Methods: We took 210 Chinese academic journal editors as the research participants and designed a moderated mediation model to examine the posited construct. All the data were gathered online and analyzed with the statistical software SPSS and SmartPLS. Results: The participants comprised 117 women (55.71%) and 93 men (44.29%). There were significant differences among observed variables in age, experience, and title. POS had a significant negative predictive effect on JB (95% CI = −0.43; −0.06). JS mediated the relationship between POS and JB (95% CI = −0.48; −0.11). SE moderated the association between JS and JB (95% CI = 0.04; 0.75) but did not function as a moderator in the relationship between POS and JS (95% CI = −0.01; 0.24). Conclusions: POS, JS, and SE were crucial determinants of JB among Chinese academic journal editors. Targeted interventions should be initiated to diminish editors’ feelings of being unappreciated, inefficient, dissatisfied, and unaccomplished at work.Xiaoyan YuShiyong WuWei ChenWen ZhengMingxi HuangLei YangShuyi ZhouMDPI AGarticleperceived organizational supportjob burnoutjob satisfactionself-efficacyChinese academic journal editorsCOVID-19MedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 12167, p 12167 (2021)
