Abstract

Over the past two decades, there has been a notable surge in attention towards occupational burnout, given its far-reaching implications for both individual employees and the organizations they serve (Chapman & Green, 1986; Chase, 1986; Kwag & Kim, 2008; Ogungbamila, 2013; Schepman & Zarate, 2005). Occupational burnout is characterized by an employee's profound psychological and physical exhaustion attributed to workplace conditions (Freudenberger, 1974). In essence, it signifies a state where employees grapple with the depletion of mental reserves, exhibit apathy or cynicism towards colleagues, and experience a pervasive sense of job dissatisfaction (Maslach, 1993).
