Summary/Abstract: The burnout syndrome appears when emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion is caused by several stress periods that were not properly managed by employees. Burnout affects individuals and organisations as well. On the one hand, employees start to be and feel unmotivated, discouraged, and without chances of doing something well and productive at work. On the other hand, organizations’ performances start to suffer in terms of productivity, quality, demission’s, and atmosphere. So, both parties can be affected by burnout. Burnout is not identified from the very beginning by organizations, but with the results revealed in terms of key performance indicators. Employees could not be aware at their first burnout of it, but they could understand something about this first bad stage in their life post factum. In this paper a literature review regarding the burnout syndrome is made, revealing factors that conduct to this, and possible solutions to manage it properly.
