Summary/Abstract: This article examines the relationship between mindfulness and socially prescribed perfectionism with professional burnout among specialists in the information technology field in Moldova, with an emphasis on age and gender differences. The research group consisted of 120 IT professionals: 58% male and 42% female. The analysis showed that there is a significant negative correlation between mindfulness and professional burnout (correlation coefficient -0.649), indicating a decrease in burnout risk with increased levels of mindfulness. At the same time, socially prescribed perfectionism enhances professional burnout, with a positive correlation of 0.391, especially among young men.
