AIM To elucidate the orientation of burnout prevention in line with the experience level of nurses by examining the impact of organizational climate on burnout by nursing experience level. BACKGROUND While the relationship between a nurse and the organization where they work changes depending on the nurse's experience level, there is a dearth of research that takes into account the nursing experience level in exploring the relationship between organizational climate and burnout. METHOD A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted with 1,102 nurses. Nursing experience was divided into six levels. Two scales for organization climate and the Maslach burnout inventory were used. RESULTS There were effects between the organizational climate and exhaustion/depersonalization, depending on the experience level. Novices with low scores for head nurses' considerations towards staff felt the highest level of emotional exhaustion. For advanced beginners, a sense of control significantly determined emotional exhaustion. CONCLUSIONS There was a difference in the relationship between organizational climate and burnout in experience level, suggesting different intervention directions. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT There is a direction of intervention suitable for each experience level , suggesting the need to respond to each accordingly.
