Job Burnout
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
A multidimensional concept proposed by Christina Maslach, including three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. It is a state of physical and mental exhaustion caused by chronic work stress, manifested as emotional depletion, cynical detachment from work recipients, and negative self-evaluation of one's achievements.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Occupational health protection. In high-stress occupations, nursing, education, and service industries, identify the stages of burnout development. It helps us prevent and cope with burnout through early identification, stress management, optimization of work resources, seeking social support, and career reorientation, thereby maintaining long-term occupational health and quality of life.
Anchor fast decisions
Maslach's three-dimensional model posits that chronic role overload and resource deficits lead to emotional exhaustion (energy depletion), depersonalization (cynicism toward others), and reduced personal accomplishment, which mutually reinforce each other to form a burnout spiral.
