Summary We investigated job burnout and job characteristics, including decision authority, skill discretion, predict-ability, andinformationflow,amongFinnishforestryworkers(N=4356) ina longitudinal study. Welinkedthese responses individually with data on the participants’ subsequent prescriptions for psychotropic drugsincludingantidepressants.Weaimtostudytheantecedentsofchangesinburnoutlevelsoverfouryearstimeand their health-related consequences in an eight-year follow-up. The results showed that inconsistencyamong the levels of the Maslach Burnout Inventory subscales (e. g., high scores in exhaustion and lowcynicism or vice versa) at baseline identified patterns that were prone to change in burnout four years later.Informationflow predicted the direction of this change for the exhaustion and cynicism aspects of burnout,whereas skill discretion and predictability did so for reduced professional efficacy. Change toward burnoutpredicted future risk of psychotropic drug use. It seems that adverse changes in burnout are influenced bypoor organizational resources, and change toward burnout is likely to elevate the risk of poor mental health.Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Keywords: burnout; health; longitudinal; change
