Taking a day off, vacations, and pay raises can all have positive effects on burnout, but why are these methods for reducing employee burnout typically short lived?
A) They raise employee expectations for happiness.
B) Employees come to resent employers using these incentives to manipulate them.
C) These methods do not typically address the cause of problem.
D) Burnout is an inevitable part of most jobs.
Answer: C
Rationale: While pay raises might help, problems such as the workload and social environment will not go away just because the paycheck is a little larger. Likewise, employees returning from a vacation or day off walk right back into the situations they left. In contrast, the best way to address burnout appears to be to address the cause of the burnout.
