“…A deeper insight into possible links between burnout, anxiety and depression comes from psychophysiological research. For example, in a study in which error processing was analyzed, a pattern of anxiety-depression characteristics was observed [9]. Specifically, 2 components of event-related potential (ERP) in error-monitoring revealed similarity to ERPs that were observed in anxiety and depressive disorders.…”

“…The burnout group consisted of participants who had high scores (> 3) in 2 burnout dimensions: exhaustion and cynicism. As diminished efficacy is not so evident in a non-clinical burnout sample [9], efficacy was controlled but was not an inclusion criterion. Areas of Worklife Survey method was used for ensuring the job-related context of burnout symptoms.…”

“…Additionally, besides the popular MBI-GS, it is especially valuable to introduce LBQ as it is the only burnout measure introduced by the Psychological Test Laboratory of the Polish Psychological Association and has detailed psychometric characteristics and norms for several occupations [8]. It should be emphasized that burnout is linked to impairments in cognitive functioning [9] and impacts the mental and physical health of employees [10]. In consequence, burnout has a serious socio-economic impact in terms of decreased level of productivity, high resignation rate, and premature retirement [4,11].…”

Objectives: The problem of defining burnout concerns its overlapping effect with other syndromes and disorders, such as depression and anxiety. Additionally, some individual characteristics influence susceptibility to burnout (e.g., neuroticism). Therefore, the question arises whether burnout is or is not a distinct syndrome. The aim of the study is to compare 2 distinct burnout measures by analyzing their connections with organizational and individual variables. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in the Institute of Applied Psychology at the Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland on a group of employees (N = 100; 40 men; mean age 36.03 years). All participants completed 2 burnout scales: the Maslach Burnout Inventory -General Survey (MBI-GS) and the Link Burnout Questionnaire (LBQ). Organizational and individual factors were controlled with Areas of Worklife Survey, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, NEO Five-Factor Inventory and Beck's Depression Inventory scales. A structural equation path model was created to quantify the relations between organizational factors and burnout, as well as to control the individual factors of anxiety, neuroticism and depression. Results: The results indicate high compatibility between MBI-GS and LBQ on burnout diagnosis. The MBI-GS and LBQ revealed stronger connections with organizational context and individual characteristics, respectively. Depression explains dimensions of exhaustion (MBI-GS, LBQ), sense of disillusion (LBQ), neuroticism-exhaustion (MBI-GS); anxiety explains sense of professional inefficacy (LBQ). Conclusions: Besides organizational variables, individual characteristics also play an important role in explaining burnout syndrome. Exploring the 2 burnout models has revealed that depression is an important determinant of exhaustion. Cynicism and relationship deterioration have consistently been explained only by organizational context. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2019;32(2):229 -44

“…Results from recent physiological and brain-imaging studies into non-clinical burnout are in line with these findings of the involvement of prefrontal cognitive functions. EEG studies indicate impairment in executive functioning in non-clinical burnout (reduced amplitude of the P300), for example, in attention shifting [22,23] and in response inhibition [24]. Clinically, people with such an impairment may be more easily distracted.…”

We investigated the relationship between cognitive functioning, work performance, and sleep in non-clinical burnout. In a working population, an online survey was conducted with additional online neuropsychological tests of varying complexity, measuring attention and different components of working memory, of which the coordinating subcomponent the 'Central Executive' is thought to be the most vulnerable to stress. Results indicate that nonclinical burnout is associated with more-though not severe-sleep problems, more depressive complaints, impaired work performance, and with both subjective and objective cognitive impairments. Compared with healthy respondents (N = 107), people with non-clinical burnout (N = 17) had a significantly poorer performance on the tests of the visuospatial sketchpad and the Central Executive of the working memory. Our study also indicates that more complex tests may be more sensitive in detecting cognitive dysfunction in non-clinical burnout. Furthermore, a relationship was found between dual-task performance and work performance. Regarding to sleep quality, in our sample of people with non-clinical burnout, there were no severe sleep problems. In the entire sample, however, insomnia was significantly related to subjective, but not objective, cognitive functioning, and also not to work performance.
