Description Burnout is a complex organizational phenomenon that diminishes employee well-being and overall organizational productivity. Researchers propose that leadership style contributes to employees' well-being, which impacts employee productivity. Organizations and leaders must address the causes of burnout and promote techniques employees can use to mitigate burnout, such as employee participation in recovery experiences. Recovery experiences are non-work activities that create positive outlooks and restore the energy needed to focus on one's work. This literature review examines current research in employee recovery experiences, conservation of resource theory (COR), burnout, and transformational leadership theory. Studying burnout through the lens of COR shows how important resource gain and recovery activities are to healthy employees and their job performance within the organization. The research reviewed suggests that transformational and transactional leadership styles have higher probabilities of promoting employee participation in recovery experiences than passive avoidant leadership style. The literature consistently showed burnout as a significant organizational phenomenon negatively affecting productivity, employee well-being, and turnover rates. The literature revealed that mitigating burnout happens through participation in recovery experiences. The literature on leadership styles supports the assumption that leaders play a significant role in employee well-being, group identity, and organizational climate. Leaders who desire to mitigate employee burnout will benefit from research that links transformational leadership style behaviors and employee participation in recovery activities.
描述 职业倦怠是一种复杂的组织现象，它会降低员工的幸福感和组织的整体生产力。研究人员提出，领导风格有助于员工的幸福感，而这又会影响员工的生产力。组织和领导者必须解决职业倦怠的成因，并推广员工可用于缓解职业倦怠的技巧，比如让员工参与恢复体验。恢复体验是指那些能创造积极展望并恢复专注于工作所需精力的非工作活动。这篇文献综述考察了当前关于员工恢复体验、资源保存理论（COR）、职业倦怠和变革型领导理论的研究。通过资源保存理论的视角研究职业倦怠，能显示出资源获取和恢复活动对于健康员工及其在组织内的工作表现有多重要。所综述的研究表明，与被动回避型领导风格相比，变革型和交易型领导风格更有可能促进员工参与恢复体验。文献一直表明，职业倦怠是一种严重的组织现象，会对生产力、员工幸福感和离职率产生负面影响。文献显示，通过参与恢复体验可以缓解职业倦怠。关于领导风格的文献支持这样一种假设，即领导者在员工幸福感、群体认同感和组织氛围方面发挥着重要作用。希望缓解员工职业倦怠的领导者将从将变革型领导风格行为与员工参与恢复活动联系起来的研究中受益。
