Employee Burnout: A Meta-Analysis of the Relationship between Age or Years of Experience
Brewer, Ernest W.; Shapard, Leslie
Human Resource Development Review, v3 n2 p102-123 2004
This study examined the relationship between age or years of experience and employee burnout by performing a meta-analysis on research studies that present findings on relationships between employee burnout and age or years of experience. The problem has practical significance in that the appropriateness of approaches to addressing employee burnout may depend on whether age or years of experience is a factor related to burnout. Results indicated that there was a small negative correlation between employee age and emotional exhaustion, one of the components of burnout, at least for employees in some fields in the United States, and possibly a small negative correlation between years of experience in a field and emotional exhaustion.
