概要	Previous research has proposed that burnout (i.e., emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization, and personal accomplishment; Maslach & Jackson, 1981) is a result of having enthusiasm for one’s work. However, some research does not support this statement. For example, Igawa et al. (2013) examined whether excessive enthusiasm for work is a risk factor for burnout in a psychiatric hospital. Results indicated that enthusiasm for work is not necessarily indicative of burnout. In this study, we sought to investigate whether burnout is predicted by enthusiasm utilizing a longitudinal study on web survey examining caregivers. At the start of the study (Time 1) there were 1,087 participants (479 Male, 608 Female, Mage = 45.28). A year later (Time 2) there were 690 participants (333 Male, 357 Female, Mage = 46.07). Our results showed a relationship between burnout tendency at Time 1 and turnover at Time 2 (emotional exhaustion, F (1,689) = 7.19, depersonalization, F (1,689) = 5.20, ps < .01). The following enthusiasm variables were examined: work engagement (i.e., vigor, dedication, and absorption; Schaufeli et al., 2002); grit (i.e., perseverance and passion; Duckworth & Quinn, 2009); passion (i.e., harmonious and obsessive; Vallerand et al., 2003), and sense of mission (Igawa et al., 2019) at Time1, result show that did not predict turnover at Time 2. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to regress the burnout tendency at Time 2 with the enthusiasm index at Time 1. Results showed that the enthusiasm index had an effect of reducing burnout tendency. However, the variable, sense of mission, significantly increased emotional exhaustion (β = .17, R2 = .20), while the variables harmonious (β = .18) and absorption (β = .33) significantly increased depersonalization (R2 = .25). Our results indicate that though enthusiasm for work does not predict short-term turnover, it is indicative of burnout. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between burnout and enthusiasm.
