Introduction

Job burnout

Job burnout is a special type of work-related stress — a state of physical or emotional

exhaustion that also involves a sense of reduced accomplishment and loss of personal
identity.

"burnout" isn't a medical diagnosis. Some experts think that other conditions, such as
depression, are behind burnout. Some research suggests that many people who experience
symptoms of job burnout don't believe their jobs are the main cause. Whatever the cause, job
burnout can affect your physical and mental health.

 Lack of control : an inability to influence decisions that affect your job — such as your
schedule, assignments or workload — could lead to job burnout. So could a lack of the
resources you need to do your work.
 Unclear job expectations : if you're unclear about the degree of authority you have or
what your supervisor or others expect from you, you're not likely to feel comfortable at
work.
 Dysfunctional workplace dynamics : perhaps you work with an office bully, or you feel
undermined by colleagues or your boss micromanages your work. This can contribute to
job stress.
 Extremes of activity : when a job is monotonous or chaotic, you need constant energy to
remain focused — which can lead to fatigue and job burnout.
 Lack of social support : if you feel isolated at work and in your personal life, you might
feel more stressed.
 Work-life imbalance : if your work takes up so much of your time and effort that you
don't have the energy to spend time with your family and friends, you might burn out
quickly.

Psychological health

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we
think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make
choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence
through adulthood.

 Work is good for mental health but a negative working environment can lead to
physical and mental health problems.

Mental health issues can manifest in a variety of ways in the workplace, including:

 Calling in sick often

 Withdrawal/isolation
 Personality changes
 Difficulty focusing and remembering details
 Difficulty organizing thoughts and tasks
 Other cognitive challenges

Industry profile:

 India’s textiles sector is one of the oldest industries in Indian economy dating back
several centuries. Even today, textiles sector is one of the largest contributors to
India’s exports with approximately 11 per cent of total exports.
 Handloom sector play final role in the economic development of the country in this
paper has covered conceptual frame work handloom industry in telangana state, type
of handloom weavers (independent weavers, master weavers, weavers under middle
man, co-operative weavers, labor weavers) cloth varieties (ikat sari, cotton & durries,
are silk, jackard and python,
 The textiles industry is also labor intensive and is one of the largest employers. The
textile industry has two broad segments.

o First, the unorganized sector consists of handloom, handicrafts and sericulture,

which are operated on a small scale and through traditional tools and methods.
o The second is the organized sector consisting of spinning, apparel and
garments segment which apply modern machinery and techniques such as
economies of scale.

  Textiles sectors at one end of the spectrum, while the capital intensive sophisticated
mills sector at the other end of the spectrum.
 The decentralized power looms/ hosiery and knitting sector form the largest
component of the textiles sector.
 Handloom industry in telangana state – there are 475 weavers' co-operative societies
in the state consisting of cotton-253, silk- 50, and wool-44.

Review of Literature:

Salvagioni et.al (2017) on their study , Physical, psychological and occupational

consequences of job burnout: A systematic review of prospective studies found out that
Burnout is a syndrome that results from chronic stress at work, with several consequences to
workers’ well-being and health. The psychological effects were insomnia, depressive
symptoms, use of psychotropic and antidepressant medications, hospitalization for mental
disorders and psychological ill-health symptoms. Job dissatisfaction, absenteeism, new
disability pension, job demands, job resources and presenteeism were identified as
professional outcomes.
Murat and Erdem (2015), from their research work on ―Effects of Burnout on Employees’
Satisfaction a Research at 3, 4 and 5 Star Hotels in Canakkale City Center‖ concluded that
Burnout syndrome is one of the major problems of todays’ information age. This syndrome is
defined as ―a progressive and gradual process caused by the mismatch between the demands
of employees and job demands" Burnout syndrome is seen more on employees of the
professions directly serving the people, labor-intensive and where human relations are
important. Therefore incidence of burnout syndrome on the employees of the service sector
is higher than other profession groups.

Mhamudur rahman md. (2013) studied the handloom scenario in bangladesh and stated that
this sector had glorious past, questionable present and doubtful future due to various internal
and external forces. Their study identified the prospects of handloom industry in bangladesh.
The study revealed some predetermined factors, like-shortage of working capital, high cost of
raw materials, lack of organizing capability, inadequate technology and efficiency, lack of
policy support and huge knowledge gap, lack of power supply and shortage of credit facility
are the main factors of the handloom industry in bangladesh.

Srinivasa rao kasisomayajula (2012) presented a paper basing on field work socio-economic
analysis of handloom industry in andhra pradesh a study on selected districts. He was studied
in the socio economic analysis of handloom industry in andhra pradesh a study on selected
district(east godavari, prakasam, kurnool , nalgonda ).

Stimpfel , sloane and aiken (2012) examined the extended work shifts of twelve hours or
longer are common and even popular with hospital staff nurses, but little is known about how
such extended hours affect the care that patients receive or the well-being of nurses. Survey
data from nurses in four states showed that more than 80 percent of the nurses were satisfied
with scheduling practices at their hospital. However, as the proportion of hospital nurses
working shifts of more than thirteen hours increased, patients' dissatisfaction with care
increased. Furthermore, nurses working shifts of ten hours or longer were up to two and a
half times more likely than nurses working shorter shifts to experience burnout and job
dissatisfaction and to intend to leave the job.

A study of professional burnout and work satisfaction was conducted by chivato, campos,
negro, and caballero (2011). Results showed that the promoting intrinsic motivation of
spanish allergists using the motivating factors identified in this study could protect against
professional burnout. A study of exhaustion, and job satisfaction was conducted by skaalvik
and skaalvik (2011).the purpose of this study was to explore relations between teachers'
perception of school level values represented by the goal structure of the school and value
consonance (the degree to which they felt that they shared the prevailing norms and values at
the school), teachers' feeling of belonging, emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction, and
motivation to leave the teaching profession.

health. Adverse working conditions may lead to job burnout, a syndrome resulting from

magazines and other web sources.

Sample size: 100 weavers.
