Three Dimensions of Job Burnout

Job burnout is composed of three distinct dimensions:

  1. Exhaustion: The feeling that one's emotional resources have been completely depleted, leaving a sense of being at the end of one's rope psychologically.
  2. Depersonalization: An emotional detachment from the recipients of one's services, often leading to cynical, callous, or indifferent attitudes towards them.
  3. Diminished Personal Accomplishment: The tendency to negatively evaluate one's own work, resulting in dissatisfaction with job-related achievements and a feeling of ineffectiveness in influencing others' lives.
