Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of military threats on the professional burnout of employees in the organizations that have survived the COVID-19 pandemic and currently are in conditions of uncertainty and rapid digitalization, as well as to make recommendations for developing managers' skills to prevent burnout. The study uses a set of methods of scientific knowledge used in the humanities and social sciences, in particular the method of analysis, the method of synthesis, the method of deduction, the survey diagnostic method, the method of experimental research, which includes the development and testing of e-learning course modules and the method of generalization. All participants were surveyed using Google Forms, and students were tested in the Moodle system. Prior to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the problem of professional burnout among employees in local organizations was rather common, but it intensified during the quarantine restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
