Burnout is
common in occupations or activities involving high levels of work with people—especially
aggressive people, people who require high levels of attention, or people dealing
with acute trauma
Burnout
also occurs in activities requiring continuous high levels of performance.
The term
burnout (burn-out) is attributed to psychologist Herbert J. Freudenberger
(1974).
Job stress
can lead to burnout and may be inversely related to job satisfaction in
teachers regardless of working in regular or special education settings (Sutton
& Huberty, 1984).
A review
of research indicated burnout was linked to multiple effects including physical
or health effects, psychological effects including depression, and changes in
behavior such as absenteeism (Salvagioni et al., 2017).
