The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationships among job stress, burnout, depression, and health among university teachers in China. Using a stratified random sampling method, a sample of 300 university teachers completed the Occupational Stress Indicator–2 (OSI–2), Maslach Burnout Inventory–General Survey (MBI–GS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF–36). Path analysis showed that burnout was a mediator among job stress, the occurrence and exacerbation of depressive symptoms, and poor physical health.
