Abstract Organizational success depends significantly on the commitment of its employees. To maintain high productivity, it is essential to balance health-related factors such as stress, mental well-being, and physical exhaustion. However, motivation plays a critical role in determining commitment levels, and burnout can adversely affect this motivation. The present study explores the relationship between burnout and work motivation with organizational commitment among working employees. While previous research has examined the effects of burnout on motivation and commitment separately—often focusing on human service professions such as nursing and teaching—this study extends the scope to include a broader range of professions.
The objective was to investigate the correlation between burnout, work motivation, and organizational commitment, as well as to examine gender differences in burnout levels. The tools used for the study include the Burnout Assessment Tool ( Wilmar Schaufeli, Hans De Witte, and Steffie Desart, 2019), the Work Motivation Questionnaire (Dr. K.G. Agarwal, 1990), and the Organizational Commitment Scale (Upinder Dhar and Prashant Mishra, 2002). Data were collected from 200 participants in the Delhi-NCR region, comprising 100 males and 100 females.
Results revealed a significant relationship among burnout, work motivation, and organizational commitment. However, no significant gender differences were found in the levels of burnout, work motivation, or organizational commitment.
