The mean age of the study participants was 32.20±5.79 years and the mean duration of employment was 7.63±5.79 years. In the data analysis, , correlation and regression analysis were used. From the results of the analyses, the finding was obtained that verbal abuse signficantly increased the emotional burnout and depersonalization levels of bank employees.
