“…The literature has confirmed over the years the role of variables related to the perception of the worker, such as workload (Galindo et al, 2012;Lima et al, 2013;Novais et al, 2016;Rodrigues & Carlotto, 2017;Silva et al, 2015;Tironi et al, 2016), organizational support (Lorenz & Guirardello, 2014), autonomy (Rodriguez & Carlotto, 2017), recognition at work (Prestes et al, 2015;Zanatta & Lucca, 2015), and working conditions (Silva, Bolsoni-Silva, Rodrigues, & Capellini, 2015) in the prediction of BS. Although certain socio-demographic and individual variables such as sex (Carlotto, 2011), age (Esteves-Ferreira, Santos & Rigolon, 2014;Koga, et al, 2015), and marital status (Zanatta & Lucca, 2015), among others, have indicated a relation to BS in the explanatory models, they generally have low predictive power, (Maslach, Schaufeli, & Leiter, 2001;Queirós, Carlotto, Kaiseler, Dias, & Pereira, 2013;Sticca & Scotton, 2019) when compared to work-related variables, which points to the importance of the design and characteristic of the work context as determinants of the occurrence of BS (Maslach & Leiter, 2016 a).…”
