Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the impact of occupational exhaustion on individual lives. In order to achieve this objective, hypotheses were formulated and evaluated on a sample of 50 of people employed in the economic and educational field. The main findings revealed that burnout is influenced by impaired balance between personal and professional life, manifested by improper management of leisure time, absenteeism, excessive work, impairment of interpersonal relationships, and reducing organizational and family engagement. It was also highlighted that women are more susceptible to professional exhaustion due to pressure generated by the interference of the role in the family environment with the organizational one. The third hypothesis stated that rural participants are more at risk of exhaustion, given the extended field of activity. Because the group of study participants included people with occupations in the economic and educational field, it has been demonstrated that professional exhaustion is more pronounced in the case of jobs that involve direct contact with other people. Thus, the results obtained after the testing confirmed the objective of this paper, namely that the burnout is determined by conflicts in the field of activity and family.
