The conditions for stress and burnout most frequently studied and cited in the literature can be grouped under three general headings task characteristics (workload, role conflict and ambiguity, autonomy, and tenure), organizational characteristics (job context, and organizational pace and technology) and personal characteristics (demographics, social support, hardiness, unrealistic expectations, and career progress).
