The purpose of this research was to analyze the mediating role of burnout in the relationship between psychological capital and turnover intention among healthcare professionals. Employing a cross-sectional design, data were collected via an online survey distributed to professionals across six hospitals. Following piloting and refinement, 356 valid responses were obtained, revealing a predominantly young, educated, and gender-balanced sample. The survey encompassed measures of psychological capital, burnout and turnover intention. Structural equation modeling confirmed the reliability and validity of the constructs. Results indicated a high level of psychological capital, particularly in hope and optimism, coupled with low burnout and moderate turnover intention. Correlational analyses demonstrated negative associations between psychological capital and burnout/turnover intention, except for personal accomplishment. Burnout exhibited a positive correlation with turnover intention. Mediation analysis revealed that psychological capital indirectly influences turnover intention through burnout, thereby highlighting burnout's mediating role. The findings underscore the importance of fostering psychological capital to mitigate burnout and reduce turnover intention among healthcare professionals. The study suggests organizational strategies to enhance psychological capital, potentially contributing to improved workforce retention and patient care quality. Limitations include reliance on self-report data and the cross-sectional design. Future research should aim to understand how individual resilience interacts with organizational culture, leadership styles, and policy frameworks and also further explore what factors could predict burnout and psychological capital. Furthermore, longitudinal studies are recommended to ascertain causality and observe the evolution of psychological capital and its impact on burnout and turnover intentions over time.
