ABSTRACT

In this closing section of the book we will try to strike a balance and see what the future holds for the burnout construct. First: What do we have? What has been achieved by the recent developments in theory and research? What contributions have been made by the chapters included in this book? And what issues are still unresolved? Of course, we can only deal with these issues in a somewhat global manner. The reader is referred to the chapters for more detailed information.
