Abstract
Emotional burnout is a form of psychoemotional exhaustion that arises as a result of prolonged exposure to stressors in professional activity. In recent decades, this phenomenon has gained particular relevance due to the intensification of work processes, changes in employment patterns, and increasing demands placed on employees. The aim of this article is to examine employee emotional burnout from the perspective of how corporate culture influences its development and manifestations. The study is based on a theoretical analysis of domestic and international research addressing the interaction between components of corporate culture and factors contributing to burnout. It has been established that corporate culture may function both as a protective factor that reduces the risk of burnout and as an aggravating factor when it encourages overwork, high work intensity, insufficient psychological support, and underdeveloped norms of work–life balance. A structuralfunctional approach is employed to identify the mechanisms through which values, norms, organizational climate, and leadership practices affect employees’ emotional wellbeing. The article highlights the necessity of considering the cultural and psychological characteristics of an organization when developing personnel management programs. The work has a theoretical orientation and may be useful for HR specialists, managers, and researchers in the field of organizational psychology.
