Burnout and Mental Health in the Age of High Work Demands in Organizational Behavior

VETRI SELVAN.J

Abstract:-

In today's fast-paced and competitive work environments, individuals are often confronted with escalating work demands that have given rise to a pressing concern: burnout and its profound impact on mental health. This comprehensive analysis delves into the intricate relationship between burnout, mental health, and organizational behavior, particularly in the context of elevated work expectations. This abstract further explores the underlying mechanisms linking high work demands to burnout and subsequent mental health challenges. Factors such as excessive workload, lack of autonomy, inadequate support systems, and blurred work-life boundaries contribute significantly to the onset of burnout. The erosion of these factors exacerbates stress and reduces an individual's ability to cope effectively, leading to a cascade of negative outcomes for both the employee and the organization. Understanding the intricate relationship between these factors is crucial for organizations aiming to create a healthy and sustainable work environment. By recognizing the signs of burnout, implementing preventive measures, and offering appropriate support, organizations can prioritize the well-being of their employees while fostering a culture of productivity and success.
