PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT
People are less likely to suffer a burnout when they feel they achieved a personal accomplishment compared to when they didn't. The office design should anticipate on this.
A burnout happens when people experience emotional exhaust, depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment (2008).
Personalization:
By designing the office with a lot of variety of working spaces, employees are able to choose depending on what they need for that moment and task. It is also important to give people the ability to appropriate the office to themselves. When they are able to make it into a place they belong to, it might lower their feeling of alienation; lowering the risk of burnout.
People are more likely to get a burnout when there is nothing done with their work after having given a lot to it. By exhibiting projects and giving high exposure to everyone who worked on such projects - even more important for projects which get discontinued - exhibiting could contribute to experiencing personal accomplishment. Using the office building as an exhibition space could prevent emotionally exhausted employees to get a burn out from it.
