The Impact of Job Burnout on Employees' Performance: An Analytical Study of Opinions of a Sample of Employees at Polytechnic Colleges of Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University

The current study aimed to identify the impact of job burnout dimensions (Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Lack of Personal Accomplishment) on employees performance at Polytechnic Colleges (Karbala and Al-Qadisiyah) affiliated with Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University (ATU). The study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing an electronic questionnaire distributed to the research population. The final sample consisted of (108) respondents. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS v.26). The results revealed a statistically significant inverse correlation between job burnout and employee performance. Specifically, "Lack of Personal Accomplishment" was found to have the most significant negative impact on performance. Interestingly, "Depersonalization" did not show a statistically significant effect, indicating employees' professionalism. Furthermore, the results showed no statistically significant differences in job burnout levels attributed to demographic variables.
