Description
Summary:Since its introduction by Freudenberger in 1974, the burnout syndrome has received much publicity, and the field has seen tremendous growth. Even in the scholarly press, however, most publications have been non-empirical in nature. The current paper examines the existing empirical evidence concerning symptoms of burnout among human service professionals, published from 1974 to the end of 1984. Depuis son introduction par Freudenberger en 1974, le syndrome «burnout» a reçu une très grande publicité et le domaine a connu un essor remarquable. Toutefois, la plupart des publications furent non-empiriques de nature et il en est de même des publications savantes. Le présent article examine les preuves empiriques existantes des symptômes du «burnout» chez les professionnels de services humains dans les publications de 1974 à la fin de 1984.
