INTRODUCTION Burnout, which is stated to be a professional hazard (Fraudenberg, 1974), is seen as imminent in terms of both individuals and organizations. Defined as the decrease in the amount of psychological and physical energy (Maslach, 2003), burnout decreases or increases depending on the personal and organizational stress factors. In other words, it is thought to be a negative result of the interactions between person and work atmosphere (Ashforth & Lee, 1997; Budak & Surgevil, 2005; Ozdemir, Kilic, Ozdemir, Ozturk & Sumer, 2003; Singh, Goolsby & Rhoads, 1994).
