Aims: The main objective of this study was to test competitive path models describing the relationship between Work–Home Interference, job burnout and job satisfaction. Study Design: Data was obtained from a sample of 95 dentists. A conceptual model in which burnout totally mediates the relationship between Work–Home Interference and job satisfaction was compared to another model in which this mediation was partial. The mediator role was demonstrated using the rationale and procedure suggested by Holmbeck [1]. The results were discussed in light of the literature dealing with burnout. Sample: Data was obtained from a sample of 95 denstists. Practical Implications: The research suggests the very importance of relationships between work and home life, and the mediator role of job burnout for current research in quality of work
