Burnout has been extensively studied in the past 25 years, and yet, it remains a hot topic, as new technologies blur the space between work and personal time, eroding the time and space needed for employees to recharge. Added to this, is the increase in workload either because of an economic downturn or a market growth. This book is a first look at what happens in educational institutions at the tertiary level, and specifically, at the role that academic workload has as a possible predictor of burnout. The challenge for college administrators is to develop workload policies that will sustain a workforce that remains active, healthy, and committed for the long haul.
