Conclusions
In the present study we aimed to analyze the effects of stress and the Burnout syndrome on self-image of
people demanding activities at work. Work plays an important role in the lives of most people. At the workplace,
people may acquire prestige and self-esteem. The work environment thus represents an important life domain for
adults in that it contributes to overall personal satisfaction. Nevertheless, because of its central role in life, work
can also create frustration, stress, and various other psychological outcomes. Indeed, the work environment may
contain a variety of objective stressors such as physical, chemical, and biological hazards.
Risk factors in accidents at work and occupational diseases are factors (traits, states, processes, events,
behaviors) own work system elements that may cause, under certain conditions, accidents at work or
occupational diseases. Because risk factors are found in each element of the work system, preventive measures
will meet at least one of these elements. The tendency to evaluate difficult situations work correctly without it
deems threatening, people with high self-esteem will tend to adopt forms of preventive and active coping
enabling them to maintain low stress.
The research has indicated the fact that the Burnout syndrome is felt by the employees, that work in a climate
of economic uncertainty, many hours, taking on many responsibilities, placing their health at risk. This situation
compromises their ability to contribute to the organizational goals.
The imbalance between the work capacity of a person and the tasks that must be fulfilled lead to exhaustion and
the Burnout Syndrome that causes work accidents. Psychological counselling is imposed not only to prevent the
Burnout Syndrome, but also to prevent work accidents.
