Abstract To find the repercussion of firefighters’ perceived stress on job burnout and its psychological mechanism, 488 firefighters were tested with the perceived stress scale, the self-compassion scale, the simplified coping style questionnaire, and the Maslach burnout inventory general survey. The conclusions demonstrated that perceived stress was significantly pertinent to job burnout; both self-compassion and negative coping style acted as intermediaries; the intermediary role of perceived stress in job burnout via self-compassion and negative coping style was moderated by positive coping style. The main findings suggest that firefighters’ perceived stress explicitly predicts job burnout and implicitly influences job burnout via self-compassion and negative coping style. Positive coping style moderated the link involving perceived stress and job burnout and the link encompassing perceived stress and negative coping style.
