Details Previous studies have indicated that burnout arises from excessive enthusiasm for work. However, most psychological scale items that measure burnout focus solely on symptoms, and there is little evidence to indicate whether burnout symptoms can derive from enthusiasm for work. Therefore, we conducted a three-wave annual panel survey to assess whether scores on the Burnout Scale (BO scores), which focuses solely on symptoms, measure “typical burnout” caused by enthusiasm for work among Japanese caregivers.
