Companies do not usually advertise that they expect


Companies do not usually advertise that they expect employees to work 12-hour days; instead, they nurture a corporate culture of over-achievement and create expectations that long hours of work are essential for success in the company. Especially in today's economy, employees are highly unlikely to complain. However, long stressful hours will ultimately lead to reduced job performance and life satisfaction, employee burnout, and illness. Jonathan Fields, a former hedge-fund lawyer for a large-firm in NYC turned serial entrepreneur, almost worked himself to death before getting out of the law business and into entrepreneurial adventures. Imagine that you are the owner of a highly stressful but surviving business, and you want to make sure that your employees are not headed toward role overload and burnout. Considering Figure 16.9, how would you go about diagnosing sources of stress and burnout (e.g., what diagnostic questions would you ask?), and what steps would you to take to ensure that your employees do not sacrifice their physical and mental well being for the sake of your company?
