Abstract: This research focus on the formation mechanism and intervention strategy of coal miners’ job burnout, based on a simulation study using system dynamics method. The simulation result indicates that, work assignment alienation has higher sensitivity to intervention strategies than other elements of coal miners’ job burnout, while health damage is least sensitive to intervention. The top three adoptable strategies shall be reasonable working hours, self-psychological adjustment, and psychological counseling program. As the impact of one intervention strategy weakens with time, it is necessary to constantly change intervention strategies or to adopt a strategy combination to intervene miners’ burnout. This study explains the formation mechanism of coal miners’ job burnout and offers targeted advice for coal enterprises, aiming to effectively improve their safety management mechanism and to reduce casualties.
