Emotional exhaustion is defined as an extreme type of work-related stress, and job burnout is one example [1,2]. In the workplace, emotional exhaustion can manifest as a general loss of emotions (e.g. a decreased concern, interest, and energy), as well as increased fatigue, irritability, and frustration [2]. Overall, emotional resources required to perform a job role are depleted, and supportive workplace intervention may be needed [2].
