摘要
Burnout is a unique type of stress syndrome. Although it has been shown to be potentially very costly in the helping professions, such as nursing, education, and social work, little work has been done to apply the concept to technical professionals such as information systems (IS) professionals. Given the nature of information systems development, we believe that burnout can be a potential problem for IS professionals. The study described herein examined the levels of burnout among a group of IS developers in the United States. The results indicated that the levels of burnout among IS professionals differ according to their job types and work contents.
