Abstract
The article describes an empirical study, which purpose was to identify the relationship between organizational commitment and employee burnout. The author used the following research methods: V. Boyko’s test “Diagnosis of the level of emotional burnout”, The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, WACMQ. 327 employees (159 men, 168 women) became participants of the study, the average age was 23 years, work experience was 1.8 years in the current organization. The author revealed reliably significant differences in organizational commitment among workers with different levels of professional burnout. The dominant symptoms, interrelated with organizational commitment, of workers with all fully formed phases of burnout were “emotional detachment” and “driven into a cage”. It was proved that there is a correlation between organizational commitment, involvement in professional activity and professional burnout of an employee. The more pronounced the employee’s symptoms of burnout, the less he is committed to the organization and involved in professional activities. It was also revealed that high organizational commitment can have a negative impact on the psychological state and health of the employee.
