         Abstract
          The study examines the correlates of burnout in systems
          (IS) professionals. While there has been little previous
          research in the area of burnout among IS professionals,
          anecdotal evidence shows that burnout causes a negative
          impact on the performance of IS employees. These negative
          impacts can take the form of cynicism, dissatisfaction, and
          turnover (McGee, 1996). We empirically examine the
          correlations between burnout with several work attributes
          that are considered to be either antecedents or
          consequences of burnout. Two role stressors are examined in
          this study: role ambiguity and role conflict. These
          variables are theorized to be antecedents of burnout. In
          addition, two dimensions of organizational commitment,
          affective and continuance commitment, are examined as
          possible consequences of burnout. The emotional exhaustion
          subscale of the Maslach burnout inventory is used to
          measure burnout in 312 IS professionals. Both role
          stressors were found to correlate positively with burnout.
          In addition affective commitment was found to be negatively
          correlated and continuance commitment positively correlated
          with burnout. (27 References).
