Abstract

n

nWorkplace burnout is a growing concern in the private sector, where employees face intense performance pressures, leading to stress and reduced productivity. While job-related factors are well-documented contributors, the role of personality traits in burnout remains an area of interest. This study examines the impact of Self-Esteem, Sociotropy, and Autonomy on Workplace Burnout among private sector employees. A sample of 120 employees was analyzed using ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. The findings reveal that burnout levels significantly differ across employee groups (F = 8.210, p .05). However, Autonomy was negatively correlated with burnout (r = -0.349, p = .027) and significantly predicted lower burnout levels (B = -0.129, p = .025). These results suggest that job autonomy portrays a significant part in reducing burnout, while self-esteem as well as sociotropy may not be direct predictors. The study highlights the need for organizations to enhance job autonomy, implement stress management programs, and adopt flexible work policies to mitigate burnout. Future research should explore additional workplace stressors and long-term intervention strategies.nn
