1. Be optimistic about yourself. At work, you should learn to forgive yourself and be kind to yourself. Work should not be regarded as the only pursuit of life. When encountering setbacks, we should be good at thinking from multiple angles and avoid over-denying ourselves. The consequences of self-destruction and self-confidence are terrible.

2. Facing the pressure, relax in time. When you feel stressed, you might as well do exercise, listen to music, go shopping with your family and chat with friends, which can effectively relieve the pressure. Middle-aged people are a high-risk group of job burnout. Finding the meaning outside of work and finding the joy of life is the premise for you to devote yourself to your work.

Causes of burnout

Maslach and Leiter put forward the job matching theory of job burnout in 1997. They believe that the more mismatch between employees and work in the following six aspects, the more likely job burnout will occur, including:

Workload: such as overwork;

Control power: the mismatch of control power is related to the sense of powerlessness in job burnout, which usually indicates that the individual does not have enough control over the resources needed in the work, or that the individual does not have enough authority to use the most effective working methods;

Remuneration: it can refer to economic remuneration, and more refers to living remuneration;

Socialization: For example, employees have no active contact with their colleagues around them (individuals may be isolated or lack social contact because of their work, but at the same time, conflicts with others at work have a serious impact);

Fairness: it is caused by the unfairness of workload or salary, and evaluating the unfairness of promotion is easy to bring emotional exhaustion;

Conflict of values: the values of employees are inconsistent with those of colleagues or bosses around them.
