         Abstract
          During the past two decades, information system (IS)
          organizations have experienced a rapid growth in almost
          every organization due to the intense competition in the
          industry. This growth has led to more complex and
          specialized jobs for IS professionals. These jobs often
          require IS professionals to interact with individuals
          outside the IS department. Individuals in other departments
          may have orientations and expectations that are very
          different from those of the IS professionals. The outcome
          of these interpersonal contacts may result in the change of
          IS professionals' work-related attitudes. This study
          examined the levels of burnout among a group of software
          developers in the United States. The results indicated that
          the levels of burnout among IS personnel differ due to
          their job types and work contents. (21 References).
