    The results revealed that 1) the job burnout level of local administrative organization personnel of emotional exhaustion (μ = 10.33, σ = 10.49) and depersonalization (μ = 4.07, σ = 5.02) were both low, while personal accomplishment was found to be at a higher level (μ = 24.21, σ = 14.41) 2) Regarding the factors associated with burnout level of local administrative organization personnel, individual factors such as length of service and job position were found to be significantly associated with job burnout at the .05 level of statistical significance. Additionally, the work environment was negatively correlated with emotional exhaustion (r = -0.36) and depersonalization (r = -0.20) at the .01 level of statistical significance, while positively correlated with personal accomplishment (r = 0.20) at the .01 level of statistical significance.
