<1> Accession Number 005234523 Author McGee MK. Title Burnout] Technology managers. Source Informationweek, no.569, 4 March 1996, pp.34-6, 38, 40. Publisher: CMP Publications, USA. Abstract Several new developments contribute to the problem. One is virtual-office technology: portable PCs, pagers, cellular phones, and wireless E-mail ensure that no one can stay out of touch for long, even on weekends and holidays. Another is a greater-than-ever demand to learn new skills and keep up with blazingly fast changes in technology. Then there`s pressure from corporate executives who have read a little about information technology and now want to see quick fixes. Another is new demands from increasingly tech-savvy users who want more power, more speed, more results. Finally, corporate downsizing gives fewer IS staff members less time to support more users. Burnout is the ultimate in job dissatisfaction and loss of control. Burned-out workers no longer feel in command of their work, and they often feel out of control of their personal lives as well. Work loses its value, and self-respect takes a sharp drop. (0 References). Subject Headings Human factors. Management. Personnel.
