papeina

Papeina, also known as "burnout" or "job burnout," is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It is often experienced by individuals who are overworked, lack support, or have unrealistic expectations. Papeina can manifest in various ways, including chronic fatigue, decreased productivity, increased errors, and a general sense of hopelessness or cynicism about one's job.

The term "papeina" is derived from the Spanish word for "paper," reflecting the historical context in which it was first used to describe the physical and mental exhaustion of office workers. However, the concept has since been broadened to encompass a wide range of occupations and situations.

Papeina is not a normal part of the work experience and can have serious consequences for both individuals and organizations. It can lead to decreased job satisfaction, increased absenteeism, and even physical health problems. To prevent and manage papeina, it is important to promote work-life balance, provide adequate support and resources, and foster a positive work environment.
