The phenomenon that often occurs in employees, especially Generation Z, due to prolonged stress caused by work is burnout. Burnout is one of the crucial issues and has been recognized as a significant problem in the world of work, which continues to experience a high increase and growth every year. Burnout is a condition of fatigue due to work characterized by exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced personal accomplishment. This article reviews the literature on burnout among Generation Z employees to help readers better understand the condition. It aims to clarify the dynamics of burnout, including its causes, consequences, and prevention solutions.
