WHAT IS BURNOUT?
Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion
caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel
- verwhelmed and unable to meet constant demands. As the stress
continues, you begin to lose the interest or motivation that led you to your work in the first place.
Burnout reduces your productivity and saps your energy, leaving you
feeling increasingly helpless, hopeless, cynical, and resentful. Eventually, you may feel like you have nothing more to give.
Burnout and Compassion Fatigue are most common and prevalent in
workers who are fantastic at their profession!
We have all experienced days when days when we feel bored,
- verloaded, or unappreciated; when our hard work and efforts go
unnoticed, let alone rewarded; when dragging ourselves out of bed requires the strength and determination of Hercules. When more days feel like this than not, you may be experiencing burnout.
WHAT CAUSES BURNOUT?
Poor job fit. If your job doesn't fit your interests and
skills, it might become increasingly stressful over time.
Extremes of activity. When a job is monotonous or
chaotic, you need constant energy to remain focused — which can lead to fatigue and job burnout.
Lack of social support. If you feel isolated at work
and in your personal life, you might feel more stressed.
Work-life imbalance. If your work takes up so much
- f your time and effort that you don't have the energy
to spend time with your family and friends, you might burn out quickly.
WHAT CAUSES BURNOUT?
Lack of control. An inability to influence decisions that
affect your job — such as your schedule, assignments or workload — could lead to job burnout. So could a lack of the resources you need to do your work.
Unclear job expectations. If you're unclear about the
degree of authority you have or what your supervisor or others expect from you, you're not likely to feel comfortable at work.
Dysfunctional workplace dynamics. Perhaps you work
with an office bully, or you feel undermined by colleagues or your boss micromanages your work. This can contribute to job stress.
Mismatch in values. If your values differ from the way your
employer does business or handles grievances, the mismatch can eventually take a toll.
