Approaches to the study of emotional burnout personal factors: theoretical analysis

This article addresses the issue of emotional burnout as one of the most pressing psychological phenomena of modern society. The aim of the study is to analyze theoretical and experimental research devoted to the examination of personal factors influencing the development of burnout syndrome. The sources of information include international databases (Scopus, PsycINFO), academic social networks for sharing publications (ResearchGate), as well as open-access electronic collections (Elibrary.ru, Frontiersin.org, Web of Science, Dissercat.com, Dslib.net, Rsl.ru, among others). The literature review made it possible to systematize the key groups of factors determining the manifestation of burnout: typological characteristics of personality, role-related and organizational conditions, motivational orientations, existential aspects, and individual resource capacities. The analysis demonstrates that these factors are interrelated and collectively shape the psychological state of employees. Particular attention is given to the necessity of further research aimed at strengthening personal resources and developing strategies for the prevention of emotional burnout in professional settings. The findings may be applied in occupational psychology, pedagogy, and human resource management to design support programs and enhance professional resilience.
