Beschreibung

Today's workforce is experiencing job burnout in epidemic proportions. Workers at all levels, both white- and blue-collar, feel stressed out, insecure, misunderstood, undervalued, and alienated at their workplace. This original and important book debunks the common myth that when workers suffer job burnout they are solely responsible for their fatigue, anger, and don't give a damn attitude. The book clearly shows where the accountability often belongs. . . .squarely on the shoulders of the organization.

Rezensionen

(T. George Harris, editor, Spirituality & Health)
"As the original researcher who first identified and described burnout, Dr. Maslach now digs to the roots of alienation and loss of community in many large organizations."
(Wayne Cascio, professor of management, College of Business and Administration, University of Colorado at Denver)
"Full of important lessons for those who experience burnout and those who are in positions to prevent it from occurring...it's a road map to the design of workplaces that will restore the vitality and the promise of fulfilling work."
(David S. Sobel, director of patient education and health promotion, Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program)
"The proposed solutions reach well beyond simple-minded, individual stress management to the core challenge of redesigning the work environment."
(Cary Cherniss, professor of applied psychology, Rutgers University)
"A welcome corrective to much of the writing I see on burnout. The authors show convincingly that the causes and solutions?are to be found primarily in the organization, not the individual."
