This book critically examines the concept of work burnout, exploring its origins, defining features, and ongoing debates in psychological and organizational research.
Burnout is a pervasive phenomenon in contemporary work life, typically characterized by exhaustion, a distant and/or cynical attitude towards work and the people one works with, and a diminished sense of effectiveness at work. It emerges when chronic stress overwhelms our capacity to cope, often resulting in reduced work performance, increased absenteeism, and a general decline in well-being. Yet, fifty years after its initial appearance in the scientific literature, many questions about the concept remain unresolved. This collection of essays addresses key questions about burnout’s relationship to work, personality, emotional labour, and outlines future directions for scholarly inquiry.
This book will be helpful for researchers of industrial and organizational psychology, as well as those interested in business management and human resource management. Most chapters were originally published as a special issue of Work & Stress, and were complemented with several additional contributions on burnout that appeared in this journal.

Workplace bullying, emotional abuse and harassment unfolds as a process, usually recursive and escalating, that involves multiple actors and stakeholders. Through Section 1 of this volume, the antecedents and effects of workplace bullying, emotional abuse and harassment are detailed. Apart from discussing individual and organizational causative factors and adverse outcomes for targets and organizations, this section presents issues pertaining to target coping and survival and power versus powerlessness as dialectic rather than sovereign. Emergent research examining the physiological impact on targets, the controversial interplay of personality and the striving towards well-being is showcased. Section 2 brings together chapters on the various key players in the workplace bullying, emotional abuse and harassment scenario. The focus here is on targets, bullies, bystanders, leaders and significant others as well as the range of interventionists (such as HR managers, therapists, organizational practitioners, unionists and so on) who address situations of misbehaviour. The motives, experiences and outcomes of the former group and the roles, dilemmas and challenges of the latter group are elaborated.
