Burnout is also associated with the development of coronary heart disease and increases the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and musculoskeletal disorders. Studies have shown that burnout results in negative organizational effects such as decreased productivity, increased turnover, and increased absenteeism has a high correlation with depression and causes sleep disorder and deterioration in memory and attention, leading the workers to feel that their subjective health is not good. This burnout has an adverse effect not only from the organizational point of view but also on the physical as well as the psychological aspects of each individual. It is also considered to be one of the long-term negative effects due to occupational stress or occupational fatigue and is considered to be a special type of occupational stress. Medically, burnout is defined as “a psychological syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment that can occur among individuals who work with other people in some capacity”. As can be seen in the definition, burnout occurs when you work. One dictionary defines burnout as a “feeling of always being tired because you have been working too hard”. One of the common phrases we hear these days is “I'm totally burned out.” It is an expression usually used when you are utterly tired of doing something or working, and when you need to take a break because it is hard to continue working anymore.
