Why is this happening? A causal attribution approach to work exhaustion consequences

In on effort to clarify the literature on work exhaustion (or job burnout). I: integrate causal attribution research and the burnout and exhaustion li terature to develop an attributional model of work exhaustion consequences. With this model I suggest that individuals experiencing work exhaustion wi ll not exhibit all of the job attitudes and behaviors found to correlate wi th exhaustion. Bather, individuals are likely to experience a subset of the se, depending on their perceptions regarding the cause of exhaustion. I als o discuss implications and directions for future research.
