Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of perfectionistic tendencies and behavioral systems (BAS, BIS) of office workers, on burnout. To this end, an online survey was conducted through a specialized research institute among male and female office workers aged 20 to 59, and the final dataset of 278 participants was analyzed using the statistical program SPSS 23.0. The main results of this study are as follows. First, it was found that office workers' perfectionistic tendencies had a significant effect on burnout. Second, the behavioral system (BAS, BIS) of office workers indicated that the behavioral inhibition system (BIS) had a positive effect on burnout. This study is meaningful that it revealed perfectionistic tendencies as a powerful factor related to burnout and identified behavioral systems (BAS, BIS) as an independent variable, showing that the behavioral inhibition system (BIS) is a risk factor that increases the likelihood of burnout.
