The purpose of this study was to look at the factors that impact job burnout among Malaysian oil and gas employees. Workplace bullying, organizational change, and work-family conflict are the predictor variables included in this research study. In this study, quantitative approaches were used, and data was collected via distributed questionnaires. The statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 23.0 was then used to analyze the data. Several analyses, including correlations and multiple regression analyses, were also carried out. Certain variables appear to have a major impact on job burnout, according to the findings. The results of the study can be utilized by the company to improve its practices aimed at reducing job burnout among employees, thereby increasing employee performance.
