? There is a seven-year itch in marriage, but in today's workplace, some people have been itching for less than seven months. The Survey Report on Job Burnout of Workplaces in China in 2008, released at the end of April, shows that in a survey based on the network database of 654.38+0 million office workers, 665.438+0% office workers feel stressed, and nearly two-thirds of them are not interested in their jobs. Another set of data released by China Human Resources Development Network shows that nearly 50% of the people with job burnout have been employed for less than four years. Job burnout seems to be a common problem in modern society, spreading around people ...? 74.6% people are job burnout.
? Yan Gu, an associate professor at the School of Psychology of Beijing Normal University, told reporters that job burnout usually refers to the exhaustion of psychological energy at work. What follows is physical fatigue and loss of enthusiasm for work. Psychologist Maslow summed up his performance as three symptoms, namely, emotional exhaustion, cynicism and reduced sense of accomplishment.
? Emotional exhaustion refers to lack of energy and enthusiasm for work, and feeling extremely tired. This survey shows that 27% people have severe emotional exhaustion; 6 1% of people in the workplace feel stressed and exhausted after work. Xiao Du, who has worked in a foreign company for three years, told reporters that now she relies on business trips for two days a month to decompress. "But no matter which city I am in, all I want is work. So I recently resigned and intend to completely relax for half a year. "
? Cynicism refers to deliberately keeping a distance from the object of work, taking an indifferent and neglected attitude towards the object of work and the environment, and perfunctory. Yan Chenggong said that in psychology, this is also called "personality disintegration." In the survey, nearly 2/3 people are less and less interested in work and are skeptical about the meaning of work.
? The decline of personal accomplishment refers to the negative tendency of self-evaluation, accompanied by the decline of work ability experience and achievement experience. The results of this survey are somewhat gratifying. 74% people think highly of themselves, and only about 4% people think they have no sense of accomplishment at work.
? Experts divide job burnout into three grades: low, medium and high, according to the number of times the above performances appear at the same time. The results show that 74.6% people have a symptom, that is, mild job burnout; 43.2% people have two symptoms, namely moderate job burnout; 10.8% people have three symptoms at the same time, which is serious job burnout.
? The first four years are the high incidence of job burnout.
? Compared with the past, young people nowadays seem to be more prone to job burnout. According to the survey of China Human Resources Development Network, nearly 50% of people with job burnout have worked for less than 4 years. After working for 5 years, the job burnout index decreased obviously, and after working for 16 years, the degree of job burnout decreased to the lowest. The survey also shows that 35% of people under the age of 25 have job burnout, followed by people aged 25-35.
? Job-hopping is a typical manifestation of job burnout. Xiao Chen, who has worked for less than a year, said, "I really can't imagine that our parents can stay in the same unit for life! After graduation, the students basically changed jobs. " According to the Analysis Report on the Career Mobility Cycle of Workers in Shanghai issued by Shanghai Employment Promotion Center, compared with workers of other age groups, young people under 30 have the shortest career mobility cycle, and they change jobs in less than one and a half years on average.
? "This change is related to the overall atmosphere of society." Yang Dong, an associate professor at the School of Psychology of Southwest University, said, first of all, modern people value money too much, and many people choose jobs out of interest. Coupled with the increasingly fierce competition and work pressure, they will soon be exhausted.
? Secondly, the impact of the environment. Yan Chenggong said that in the past, people rarely changed jobs, and most people wanted to hold an "iron rice bowl" for life. But now more and more people are job-hopping, and "holding an iron rice bowl" has even become a manifestation of "incompetence" in some people's eyes. "People are easily influenced by the people around them. Once someone around you has job burnout, it will inevitably affect yourself. "
? Men and people in the marketing department are more prone to burnout.
? Apart from social and historical background, job burnout varies from person to person and from occupation to occupation. This report has the following characteristics.
? Men are more prone to job burnout. According to Yang Dong's analysis, in China's traditional concept, men are under much greater pressure at work than women. "They want to buy a house to support their families, but women often just need to be independent and have a stable job." Yan Gongzhu said that men have a strong sense of purpose in their work and high expectations for the final result, so their disappointment may be even greater.
? This college is the mainstream of job burnout. Compared with graduate students and above, these people are not very clear about their career orientation. Yang Dong called it a "greedy period", that is, blindly choosing a job often leads to a "three-minute fever". Compared with high school graduates, college students have higher requirements for their jobs, and when their expectations are inconsistent with reality, they are prone to job burnout.
? People in the marketing department in enterprises are more likely to get tired. In enterprises, the marketing department is more uncertain and under greater pressure. And when all kinds of pressures hit, their energy will be more easily exhausted.
? In addition, experts found that people who pursue perfection and excellent people in the team are more likely to get tired. They will push themselves from time to time, and the living habits of "workaholics" make them unconsciously overdo it. And demanding too much of themselves will also make them feel depressed and bored.
? How do enterprises and individuals cope with job burnout?
? Once job burnout spreads like "flu", it will be out of control-"infected people" will have no intention to work; A team without centripetal force is more like a loose sand. Therefore, coping with job burnout is very important for both enterprises and individuals.
? From the perspective of enterprises, managers can first give different management methods according to different employees. Yang Dong pointed out that for those who like the new and hate the old, the rotation system can be adopted to let them experience the happiness of different jobs. Don't put too much pressure on those who pursue perfection. Secondly, the implementation of the "sunshine system" allows employees to put their psychological energy into their work and spend as little energy as possible on interpersonal relationships. In addition, the United States, Britain and other countries generally implement the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), the purpose of which is to help employees solve family and emotional problems, so that they can devote more energy to their work.
? For individuals, if they feel tired, experts have three suggestions.
? First, understand your own characteristics and work value. Ask yourself more, is this job that important to me? Do I have to be so busy? You may find that being busy is just a habit. Why don't you take yourself a short vacation? An easy life can get people back to work.
? Second, make the work more organized. Make a work schedule, list all the work items one by one, and then consider which ones can be completely abandoned and which ones can be handed over to others or cooperated with others.
? Thirdly, if you have lost all interest in your current job, you should carefully choose a job that interests you again.
