Description
Summary:Psychosocial factors at work are certain conditions directly related to the content of the position, the requirements of the realization of the task and even with the environment, which have the capacity to affect the development of the work of the Professional. When these factors have detrimental consequences for your safety, health (physical, psychic or social) and wellbeing, we talk about psychosocial risk factors or sources of work stress. The study of burnout as a psychosocial risk factor is a need aimed at improving the health and quality of life of workers in organizations. However, the latest trends in the study of burnout have taken a turn towards the study of engagement as a positive and optimal aspect of professional development and, in this sense, among the main causes of engagement work resources. In the present work, a tour of the evolution of burnout research towards its opposite, engagement, and the main labor resources that contribute to its development and the psychosocial well-being of employees in current organizations are described, according to the literature.
