This study aims to understand the burnout of executives in the private sector in Morocco. More specifically, it is about revealing the causes of suffering at work, and to understand, in particular, triggers, manifestations and determinants. For this, we analyze the results of life stories from fourteen exhausted Moroccan executives. The results of the thematic analysis of the corpora collected have revealed the properties of burnout, its antecedents and its effects. They also highlight the working conditions generating burnout, particularly the high work rate, the quantitative workload, imprecision of tasks, lack of recognition and conflicts between professional and private life. Thus, they help to understand the two forms of behavior adopted by executives at the time of exhaustion : shelters and the intention to leave.
