Good morning everybody!
Today, I would like to share with you some thoughts on the compatibility of business process management and the job demands-resources model. It appears that some tools from process management can be applied for burnout prevention. While I plan to talk about specific tools in the next episode, in this episode we try to understand how process management works with resources and see how much these resources can be of psychological nature.

Morning!
In this episode, I share with you some of my experiences when I managed to change my perception of two very exhausting activities. I know that there are many other suggestions that you can find in the literature. Yet, I wanted to share with you the two methods that did help me.
Feel free to share your most remarkable ways of changing perception in the comments section. Or you can drop me an email with a suggestion and I'll try to share it in one of the next episodes.

Management Research: Is Burnout a Matter of Perception?
Monday Jun 20, 2022
Monday Jun 20, 2022
Hello everybody
In this episode, I discuss the Job Demands and Resources Model. I focus on a specific aspect: many activities can be job demands and resources. It is your matter of perception that will boost your exhaustion or drive your energy.
I hope this episode will help you understand your state better as well as help you better understand your colleagues, students, friends, or relatives.

Management Research: Motivated into Burnout
Monday Jun 13, 2022
Monday Jun 13, 2022
Hello everybody!
Today I polemicise on an interesting topic: can one remain motivated and still run into the state of burnout. Spoiler alert: I believe one can. I propose a second theory that, combined with the Job Demands-Resources model (discussed in the previous episode), can explain the phenomenon when someone is highly motivated and her strain is constantly growing. Share your opinion in the comments. Have you observed such situations?

Management Research: Theory of Burnout (Job Demands-Resources Model)
Monday Jun 06, 2022
Monday Jun 06, 2022
Welcome everybody
In this episode, I talk about one of the theories explaining burnout - the Job Demands and Resources Model by Schaufeile, Demerouti, Bakker, and followers. Of course, in such a short episode I only scratch the surface of the theory. If you would like to know more - leave comments and I'll plan an episode dedicated to this theory.

Monday May 30, 2022
Welcome!
In this episode, I define burnout. I use two definitions: one by Maslach and followers and one by Schaufeli and followers. We also discuss some of the differences between the two definitions as they have a crucial impact on diagnosing burnout.

Management Research: What Burnout Is Not
Monday May 23, 2022
Monday May 23, 2022
Hello and welcome!
Today I make a short episode on some myths about burnout. Some people do confuse burnout with different affective states, illnesses, or other concepts. Although being related, they are not the same. Stress is not burnout, although chronic stress can lead to burnout.
Unfortunately, burnout became a "fashion illness" when some people even intentionally misuse the concept and use the word "burnout" to indicate that they work hard and are even proud of it. In this episode, we shortly talk about it and discuss some concepts that are related to burnout but are not identical to burnout.

Management Research: Burnout. An Introduction.
Monday May 16, 2022
Monday May 16, 2022
Welcome!
I decided to make a new mini-series on Burnout. This topic has become very popular, mainly due to the work from home during COVID-19. The latter changed the way we think about our work and what causes emotional exhaustion.
In the next episodes, we will talk about what burnout is (not), how it appears, how to prevent it, as well as about different antecedents and consequences of burnout.
As I am still developing this mini-series, you can leave a comment or drop me an email if you would like me to include a specific topic in this mini-series.
Good luck!

Research Methods: Questionnaires - Experiments within a Survey
Monday May 09, 2022
Monday May 09, 2022
Welcome,
in this episode, I talk about a simple but powerful combination of a questionnaire and an experiment. With a simple step, you can introduce something all researchers admire - causality. If you simply ask about the two constructs, e.g. self-identity and job satisfaction, you may find a correlation. Yet, what is the cause and what is the consequence? In this episode, I provide you with a simple trick to check it.

Research Methods: Questionnaires - Developing an Own Measurement
Wednesday May 04, 2022
Wednesday May 04, 2022
Good morning (afternoon, evening - select the appropriate option;)
In my today's episode, I briefly talk about the pros and cons of your own questionnaire development. I also give some advice on how to correctly adopt an existing questionnaire. As many of my students regularly ask me whether they are allowed to develop their own measurements, I shed light on why it might not be a good idea. Of course, it is great training to develop your own measurement. Yet, it is very hard and time-consuming. Yet, it is possible and we have some great scales even from our Bachelors as a part of their final thesis.
