The leadership challenge of increasing productivity in the workplace without increasing burnout risk

What is it about?

This is a study about the relationship between burnout, work-life balance, engagement, morale, and productivity in the workplace. The study found that engagement is a good predictor of productivity and work-life balance can help prevent burnout. The study also found that even if someone is at risk of burnout, they may still report high productivity, so productivity levels may not reveal burnout risk. The study highlights the importance of positive work experiences and quality leadership practices in reducing burnout risk and improving productivity. The study also found that experiencing a sense of accomplishment (SoA) in a team can positively impact team productivity. Finally, the study found a complex and nuanced relationship between morale, trust, and productivity that requires further exploration. The study suggests that managers should focus on building morale and engagement by supporting small teams and enabling job crafting where Team SoA is a key objective.
