Abstract:

Job satisfaction and job burnout are two concepts strongly mentioned in the literature, having confirmed a negative correlation between job satisfaction and job burnout. In the banking sector, research shows that job burnout is a frequent occurrence, highlighting the negative correlation between job burnout of bank employees and their job satisfaction. This paper explores the perceptions of bank employees in Greece regarding their level of job satisfaction and job burnout. The possible correlations between these two variables and the possible impact of demographics are also studied. The results are believed to offer significant implications for future research and practice in the Greek banking sector that has received a number of changes such as procedures from acquisitions and mergers and voluntary withdrawals in the human resource area, trying to find a way out of the consequences of the crisis.

Keywords:

Job satisfaction, professional burnout, banking industry.
