on job burnout. The sample consists of 182 employees from Standard and
Industry Organization of Sistan and Baluchestan (136 males and 46 females)

collect the data. Results of One Way ANOVA showed that there was significant
difference in emotional exhaustion scores with regard to age groups i.e. 31 to
40 years old showed higher mean scores in comparison to 21 to 30 years old,
but there was no significant difference between three age groups on
depersonalization and personal accomplishment. Results of t-test demonstrated
that female employees showed significantly higher mean scores on emotional
exhaustion in comparison to their male counterparts but males obtained higher
mean scores on personal accomplishment than females. But there was no
significant difference between two groups in scores of depersonalization. Married
employees showed significantly higher mean scores on emotional exhaustion
in comparison to unmarried employees. But there was no significant difference
in scores of depersonalization and personal accomplishment for married and
unmarried employees. Results revealed that job tenure had not impact on job
burnout components. Employees who had Diploma and lower education level

depersonalization in comparison to upper diploma and bachelor. But there was
