Abstract
Developmental Paper Summary
An innovative approach in understanding the phenomena of physician burnout involves examining the influence of organizational supports and resources, including leadership strategies, independently and in combination with individual solutions (Abraham et al., 2020; De Hert, 2020; Shanafelt and Noseworthy, 2017; West, Dyrbye and Shanafelt, 2018; Williams, Rathert and Buttigieg, 2020). Addressing primary care physician burnout requires a human-centred individual focus with an organizational approach working synergistically. A 2021 Canadian Medical Association survey found that 80% of physicians do not feel their organizations are providing the necessary resources and support to address burnout. The research will focus on understanding organizational-driven solutions that increase Psychological Safety Climate (PSC) and Perceived Organisational Support (POS) to complement the abundance of literature and workplace wellness initiatives focusing on individual-driven solutions.
