1. Job
characteristics
Job
demands and factors are seen as opportunities (job resources) that determine
people’s motivation to take part in the workforce. The work environment and characteristics of
the job, such as the degree of autonomy, challenges and growth perspectives
(resources) as well as the workload and physical aspects of the job (demands)
play a large part in explaining occurring of burnout.
2. Social
support
The
relationship people have with their managers can serve as a buffer against work
stress. Burnout may arise as a result of
problems employees may have with others. A lack of peer support may heighten the risk
of burnout. A good marriage can help
employees cope with work stress because the situation at home is supportive,
burnout can, conversely, influence marital quality.
3. Burnout
and the intention to retire early
There
are various reasons why people with burnout complaints have a stronger desire
to withdraw from the labor force. One of
the reasons is that burnout decreases people’s job commitment. Retirement offers older workers the
opportunity to escape unsatisfying situations at work.
