AB  - The COVID-19 pandemic poses critical challenges for the health care workers (HCWs) around
the world due to the increasing demands imposed on health care systems. This study aims to investigate
how risk concern impacts burnout via positive and negative affect. Further, the moderating role of risk
exposure (low, medium, and high) in this parallel mediation model is examined. A sample of 257
Portuguese HCWs answered a questionnaire. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis was applied.
Results showed that risk concern positively influences negative affect – but not positive affect – and,
consequently, burnout. Contrary to our expectations, this indirect effect was not greater for individuals in
the high-risk group (vs. low-risk group), which can be explained by individual and organizational factors'
buffering role. These findings draw healthcare organizations' attention to the hazardous effects of risk
concern on HCWs' well-being.
