Burnout is a response to prolonged stressors at work, and is defined as a chronic syndrome including exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy. The 40 years of research on burnout have yielded thousands of studies on its measurement, antecedents, correlates, and consequences. However, most of these studies have used a cross-sectional design, and only very few have addressed burnout from a life-course perspective. In the first part of this article, we reflect on the ideas that inspired our multidisciplinary "A 35-Year Follow-Up Study on Burnout Among Finnish Employees," and the challenges that we encountered when conducting and publishing the study. In the second part, we focus on another understudied topic in burnout research, namely negative life events and their role in burnout. In the third part of the article, we more broadly discuss 6 important developments in burnout research over the past decade, and propose 6 key topics for future studies on this topic.

职业倦怠是对工作中长期压力源的一种反应，被定义为一种慢性综合征，包括疲惫、玩世不恭和职业效能降低。40年来对职业倦怠的研究产生了数千项关于其测量、前因、相关因素和后果的研究。然而，这些研究大多采用横断面设计，只有极少数研究从生命历程的角度探讨职业倦怠。在本文的第一部分，我们反思了启发我们开展多学科的“芬兰员工职业倦怠35年随访研究”的观点，以及我们在进行和发表该研究时遇到的挑战。在第二部分，我们关注职业倦怠研究中另一个未得到充分研究的主题，即负面生活事件及其在职业倦怠中的作用。在本文的第三部分，我们更广泛地讨论了过去十年职业倦怠研究中的6个重要进展，并提出了关于该主题未来研究的6个关键主题。（PsycINFO数据库记录）
