This study has been carried out aiming at analyzing the relationship between job demands and job burnout due to the moderating role of job resources. The statistical population of the research has been consisted of 120 personnel of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Co. (Khorasan-e Razavi) in the spring and summer 2015. The sample size was estimated to be 93 using Morgan & Krejcie Table and NCSS PASS. The sample group was selected using simple random sampling. To test the hypotheses and model fitness, structural equation modeling and AMOS were used. Evidences showed that a significant positive correlation exists between ambiguity and role conflict and job burnout. Also, when training, supervisor and technology support is high, ambiguity, overload, and role conflict leads to job burnout at a lower speed.
