A SÍNDROME DE BURNOUT EM GESTORES INTERMEDIÁRIOS: entre a pressão da liderança e as demandas da equipe

Abstract

This study examines Burnout Syndrome among middle managers and its effects on mental health and professional performance. A qualitative approach was employed through a bibliographic review drawing on research indexed in Google Scholar and SciELO, covering publications from 1974 to 2020. National and international studies addressing the relationship between leadership practices, organizational demands, team pressures, and psychological distress were analyzed. The findings indicate that emotional overload, excessive organizational demands, and an imbalance between responsibilities and available resources significantly contribute to exhaustion. The study highlights the relevance of human-centered management and preventive strategies to foster workplace balance, well-being, and sustainable performance.
