Resumo(s)
This study investigates burnout risks in high-stress industries in Germany, with a
particular focus on investment banking, startups, and especially the consulting sector. Analyzing
138 professionals using the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT), the study reveals a complex
landscape of occupational stress, with 13% of respondents showing high burnout potential. A
significant positive correlation between stress frequency and burnout risk (0.390, p < 0.001) is
observed, with male respondents experiencing notably lower burnout risks (-0.223, p = 0.047).
Furthermore, differences in BAT scores across the three industries approach statistical
significance (p = 0.051), with notable variations in the exhaustion (p = 0.014) and mental
distance (p = 0.038) subscales, being highest in investment banking. The study also rejects the
hypothesis that remote work mitigates burnout (remote work days: p = 0.739; remote work
autonomy: p = 0.277). While high workload emerges as a universal stressor, the specific
contributing factors differ across sectors.
The study challenges conventional prevention measures, advocating for systemic organizational
interventions that address structural workplace challenges. Recommendations include job
redesign, leadership support, and strategic well-being integration, emphasizing a holistic
approach to understanding and mitigating burnout.
