This study examined task identity and job independency as correlates of burnout among physicians in Tabriz. It made use of 57 participants that responded to, Job Diagnostic Survey and Bach Burnout Inventory. Three hypotheses were posited and were tested using Pearson's Correlation Statistics. The results indicated that task identity had negative significant relationship with physicians' experience of burnout (r(I)=-0.34, P<.01) and job independency also had negative significant relationship with physicians' experience of burnout (r(I)=-0.45, P<.00). No significant relationship was observed between task identity and job independency. Findings were discussed in light of the literature on moderating factors on burnout. Implications of these results were given and recommendations made on how to tackle burnout phenomenon among physicians.
