The study is based on data from 3,719 employees in a County Council inSweden. Discriminant analysis revealed that four burnout categories (nonburn-out, disengaged, exhausted, and burnout), related in different ways to self-reported work characteristics. The proportions of respondents with overtime,sickness absence, and sickness presence were higher in the burnout and theexhausted groups compared with the nonburnout group. The most commonprofessions in the burnout group were, unexpectedly, dental nurses, secretaries,and service staff.
