The first Europe-wide study on workplace burnout

Job burnout is still a taboo topic, and is poorly taken into account in the working world. This is the key finding of a study conducted by the European agency Eurofound. Only two out of 28 countries (Italy and Latvia) recognise it as an occupational disease. By analysing the causes and determining factors of the phenomenon of exhaustion, the authors highlight the growing importance of psychosocial factors.
