This article deals with the stress at the workplace and the burnouts that often affect the
production and the performance delivered by the employees. Burnout is a very commonly
observed aspect in the professions like that of doctors and nurses. Nurses often have to provide
proper care to patients dealing with deadly diseases. So, it is a common fact that nurses might
often feel emotionally challenged and broken. They might also start recalling some of their past
experiences. This might really be very stressful and tiring for them.
Job dissatisfaction might also be caused due to the lack of sufficient resources available
at the training place. Lack o enough support also causes tension among the employees. It is for
this reason that the managers must always try to provide an ample amount of support to the
employees. The employees must be motivated and encouraged at every point in time. If the
employees get the maximum amount of support from their seniors then they will be highly
satisfied in their work.

satisfaction. Is really very important to know that social interaction is needed to keep the minds
of the employees refreshed and they can interact properly with each other. Job satisfaction seems
to be more when there are gender neutral roles rather than gender-specific roles. In order words,
employees will be satisfied when there is no biasness among the employees.
