Abstract
The purpose of this article is to review modern foreign studies on the problem of professional burnout of law enforcement officers. Emotional burnout is considered as a condition that leads to a change in the individual psychological characteristics of police officers, such as: neuroticism and anxiety. In this case, emotional burnout is defined as a reaction to external circumstances reflecting the specifics of professional activity. The results of the study showed that when determining the levels of emotional burnout, foreign researchers mainly use the V.V. Boyko method (tension, resistance, exhaustion). The findings of the study revealed a significant relationship between psychophysiological indicators, individual characteristics of the subjects and their fatigue. Thus, this study in the study of burnout emphasizes the importance of taking into account individual differences and age characteristics. The results of the study will serve Kazakhstani scientists to expand the theoretical concepts and analytical capabilities of future research in the field of professional burnout not only among representatives of the pedagogical and medical spheres, but also among law enforcement officers.
