After a brief introduction on the history of burnout, this article reviews the past performance of burnout research by answering ten key-questions: (1) How can burnout be assessed?; (2) Is burnout limited to the human services?; (3) Is burnout a mental disorder; (4) What is the prevalence of burnout?; (5) Is burnout a global phenomenon?; (6) Is burnout relevant for organisations; (7) What are the causes of burnout?; (8) What are the consequences of burnout?; (9) How can burnout be explained?; (10) Are burnout interventions effective? In the concluding section a future research agenda is drafted on the bases of the answers given to the previous questions. This agenda includes such issues as the measurement and conceptualisation of burnout, mild and severe forms of burnout, epidemiological and cross-cultural perspectives, organisational outcomes, longitudinal investigations, theoretical explanations, and interventions. Opsomming Na ’n kort inleiding oor die geskiedenis van uitbranding gee hierdie artikel ’n oorsig van vorige prestasie van navorsing ten opsigte van uitbranding deur tien sleutelvrae te beantwoord: (1) Hoe kan uitbranding bepaal word?; (2) Is uitbranding beperk tot die mens-dienste?; (3) Is uitbranding ’n geestesafwyking?; (4) Wat is die voorkoms van uitbranding?; (5) Is uitbranding ’n wereldwye verskynsel?; (6) Is uitbranding relevant vir organisasies?; (7) Wat is die oorsake van uitbranding?; (8) Wat is die gevolge van uitbranding?; (9) Hoe kan uitbranding verklaar word?; (10) Is uitbrandingsingrepe effektief? In die gevolgtrekking word ’n toekomstige navorsingsagenda op grond van die antwoorde op die voorafgaande vrae opgestel. Hierdie agenda sluit aangeleenthede soos die meting en konseptualisering van uitbranding, matige en ernstige vorme van uitbranding, epidemiologiese en kruiskulturele perspektiewe, organisasie- uitkomste, longitudinale ondersoeke, teoretiese verklarings en intervensies in.

A Comparison of the Construct Validity of Two Burnout Measures in Two Groups of Professionals (2006, methodology): “In the introductory section, we noted that the original MBI items were empirically designed (using an exploratory factor analysis of a pool of items) to measure burnout as a three-dimensional construct without any substantive theory justifying the view that these dimensions belong to the same concep”
The psychological costs of owning and managing an SME: Linking job stressors, occupational loneliness, entrepreneurial orientation, and burnout (2016, background): “Although burnout is one of the foremost psychological health problems in the workplace (Schaufeli, 2003), little information is available on SME owner-managers.”
JOB BURNOUT: A GENERAL LITERATURE REVIEW (2020, methodology): “Particularly, with the development of the most modern version of MBI the MBI-general survey (MBI-GS) to be used in all occupations (Maslach et al., 2012; Schaufeli, 2003), and the development of alternative burnout measurements, for example, The oldenburg burnout inventory (OLBI) (Demerouti et al.”
The conceptualization and measurement of burnout: Common ground and worlds apart (2005, methodology): “Instead, it has been developed inductively by factor-analysing a rather arbitrary set of items’ (Schaufeli, 2003, p. 3).”
Job stress, sense of coherence and work wellness in an electricity supply organisation (2005, background): “In its turn, job demands and exhaustion are further increased so that the vicious circle is closed (Schaufeli, 2003).”
Is burnout a depressive disorder? A reexamination with special focus on atypical depression. (2014, background): “It has been advanced that burnout can be discriminated from other mental disorders, and, in particular, that burnout and depression are separate nosological entities (Iacovides, Fountoulakis, Kaprinis, & Kaprinis, 2003; Schaufeli, 2003), but research supporting these views is sparse.”
Mindfulness, Work Climate, and Psychological Need Satisfaction in Employee Well-being (2015, background): “Emotional exhaustion is defined as depletion of one’s emotional resources, and cynicism or depersonalization is defined as a detached attitude toward work tasks or others (Schaufeli 2003).”
Reflections on the study of burnout (2005, background): “Most research suggests that job environment features, prominent among them the chronic job stress of workload, are more strongly related to burnout than are personality factors such as neuroticism or demographic factors such as age (Lee & Ashforth, 1996; Schaufeli & Enzmann, 1998).
