Based on the results, job satisfaction and professional development are significant positive predictors whereas burnout is a significant negative predictor of work motivation. Conversely, burnout is a significant negative predictor of job satisfaction, whereas work motivation, job satisfaction, and professional development are significant negative predictors of burnout.
