The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of overload and self-efficacy on the burnout. The sample was composed by 714 nursing professionals that were working in different hospitals. The burnout was estimated by the MBI-HSS questionnaire, overload was estimated by a scale of 7 items of Karasek and self-efficacy by a scale of 9 items of Baessler and Schwarser. The results of the study indicate that overload and self-efficacy were significant predictors of emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment and depersonalization. In the confirmation of the self-efficacy buffering effects in the relationship between overload and the three dimensions of the MBI only was significant the buffering effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between overload and emotional exhaustion. The conclusions are that is necessary to prevent the overload to prevent the appearance of the burnout, and that the self-efficacy perceived of subjects will prevent the appearance of the burnout and it will reduce the overload incidence on this pathology.
