Synopsis

Burnout in the public sector emerges as a significant concern, with growing evidence highlighting its negative impact on employee health, organizational effectiveness, and service delivery. Characterized by workplace stress, emotional exhaustion, and low self-esteem, burnout is prevalent among public sector employees who face high demands, limited resources, and increasing scrutiny. Recent research reveals the stressors in government roles, including bureaucratic constraints, political pressure, and the emotional toll of public-facing responsibilities. At the same time, wellness initiatives are being explored and implemented to address these challenges. Further exploration of how burnout exists in the public sector, may reveal new strategies to combat it, and solutions to foster sustainable wellness among public service professionals. Public Sector Burnout and Wellness: Research and Experiences explores the experiences of public sector employees, and their various challenges associated with health and wellness. It examines characterizations of workplace stress and presents solutions for wellness initiatives and sustainable health practices. This book covers topics such as policymaking, digital technology, and stress management, and is a useful resource for government officials, policymakers, medical and healthcare professionals, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
