Thecollected data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS 22 and Process v3.3 macro extension. The mediatingrole of emotional exhaustion between economic anxiety and affective occupational commitment wascalculated via the Bootstrapping procedure. It was found that there was a weak negative relationshipbetween economic anxiety and affective occupational commitment, a positive relationship betweeneconomic anxiety and emotional exhaustion, and a negative relationship between affectiveoccupational commitment and emotional exhaustion.
