Cutter IT Journal: December 2002 -- Preventing IT Burnout

by Don Estes

While the IT profession has had its share of glamour and respect, it has also subjected its practitioners to significant amounts of stress, overtime, and a number of other demotivating practices that have sometimes led to the phenomenon of "burnout." This month, Cutter IT Journal Editor Emeritus Ed Yourdon and several distinguished contributors turn their attention to IT burnout. Can IT professionals head off the high absentee rates, low productivity, decreased morale, and higher turnover rates that characterize IT burnout? Or is IT burnout a natural phenomenon that can be used to eliminate "deadwood" from the organization? Don't miss this month's emotionally charged issue!
