Abstract:

In recent years, more and more Romanians have experienced serious health problems and even death, caused by exhaustion and depression associated with their professional activities. The purpose of this paper is to study the particularities of this phenomenon in Romania, especially from a managerial point of view. Based on questionnaires applied to employees in different companies and domains, we identify what causes job burnout and also the economic implications of the phenomenon. At the end we prove that it is necessary to raise people’s awareness regarding the danger of job burnout and we suggest solutions to prevent or at least reduce it.
