Job burnout destroys productivity

Perhaps the research conducted by the company Makanzi in the first quarter of this year, which included a number of four thousand employees from four Gulf countries, namely Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar, which according to the study showed that one in three employees suffer from job burnout, or one third of employees, which is considered higher than the global average of one in four employees, which is usually one quarter of employees!

The unhealthy work environment plays a starring role in this aspect as it helps and fuels the fires of job burnout, perhaps the most important of which are unclear tasks assigned to employees, overlapping powers and the lack of a real management structure in addition to long working hours, task pressure, monotonous work lacking incentives in addition to the conflict between family life and professional life.

Behavioral psychotherapy offers several solutions and treatments for individuals to avoid job burnout such as taking time off, getting psychological support, exercising, changing jobs, etc.
In my opinion, having an ideal work environment is a solution. In my opinion, the existence of a healthy work environment, fair and clear tasks, real hierarchy, flexibility, exchange of information and opinions, clarity of career path, equal opportunities among employees and appropriate wages compared to the effort exerted; if the top management of the organization seeks to achieve such an ideal healthy environment, the results will significantly reduce this issue, which has become evident in many companies and departments, according to the Mckenzie study.
