Abstract:

Previous research makes it evident that burnout is probably brought about by strain. This strain results from accumulated stress which the individual has not dissipated through effective coping strategies. Cherniss said it well: "Stress occurs when there is an imbalance between job demands and the worker's resources (skills, abilities, time, energy) for meeting them" (p. 158, 1980).
