TL;DR: Evidence for the buffering role of various job resources on the impact ofVarious job demands on burnout is provided and the future of the JD-R theory is looked at.
Abstract: The job demands-resources (JD-R) model was introduced in the international literature 15 years ago (Demerouti, Bakker, Nachreiner, & Schaufeli, 2001). The model has been applied in thousands of organizations and has inspired hundreds of empirical articles, including 1 of the most downloaded articles of the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology (Bakker, Demerouti, & Euwema, 2005). This article provides evidence for the buffering role of various job resources on the impact of various job demands on burnout. In the present article, we look back on the first 10 years of the JD-R model (2001-2010), and discuss how the model matured into JD-R theory (2011-2016). Moreover, we look at the future of the theory and outline which new issues in JD-R theory are worthwhile of investigation. We also discuss practical applications. It is our hope that JD-R theory will continue to inspire researchers and practitioners who want to promote employee well-being and effective organizational functioning. (PsycINFO Database Record

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the main definitions and conceptualizations of burnout and work engagement used in the literature, and review the most important antecedents of work engagement by examining situational and individual predictors.
Abstract: Whereas burnout refers to a state of exhaustion and cynicism toward work, engagement is defined as a positive motivational state of vigor, dedication, and absorption. In this article, we discuss the main definitions and conceptualizations of both concepts used in the literature. In addition, we review the most important antecedents of burnout and work engagement by examining situational and individual predictors. We also review the possible consequences of burnout and engagement and integrate the research findings using job demands– resources theory. Although both burnout and work engagement are related to important job-related outcomes, burnout seems to be more strongly related to health outcomes, whereas work engagement is morestronglyrelatedtomotivationaloutcomes. Wediscussdaily and momentary fluctuations in burnout and work engagement as possibilities for future research.

  • ...R model has shown that job resources foster work engagement (for a meta-analysis see Crawford, LePine, & Rich, 2010 and Halbesleben, 2010) and in turn lead to positive organizational outcomes (Salanova, Agut & Peiró, 2005; Xanthopoulou, Bakker, Demerouti, & Schaufeli, 2009)....
