Abstract

This study aims to model job burnout based on job exhaustion and personality traits among the employees. Burnout is a problem caused by workplace tensions. The present research was conducted on 100 employees. The statistical population of the research consisted of all the employees. For field data collection, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, developed by Maslach and Jackson, and NEO personality inventory were used. For data analysis, descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (correlation and regression) along with SPSS software were employed. The present research hypothesises that there is a significant relationship between job burnout based on job performance, job exhaustion and personality traits among the employees. According to findings, mental exercise, improving psychological satisfaction and experiential freshness can increase conscientiousness and agreeability and decrease neuroticism, which eventually leads to lower burnout.
