Key ideas

Job Burnout: In work psychology, a work-related pattern of exhaustion and disengagement measured by questionnaire; a description of how people relate to their jobs, not a diagnosis.

Work Engagement: A positive, energetic and absorbed relationship with work, predicted in the studies cited by job resources.

Job Demands-Resources Model: A model that sorts working conditions into demands, what a role asks of a person, and resources, what it supplies to meet them.
