Academic Burnout : Causes and Consequences

Abstract

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, as means of peace and prosperity for people and the planet. Several of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals are also applicable to creating a sustainable and healthy work-life, including good health and well-being (goal 3), gender equality (goal 5), decent work (part of goals 8 and 10), and reduced inequalities (goal 10) (https://sdgs .un .org/goals). To create sustainable business schools that improve both health and education, it is in our view essential to also focus on the well-being of the academic workforce. Within the business school, they are, after all, the core drivers in educating future leaders. Thus, it is important to ensure a healthy working environment for this group to ensure individual health and high-quality education.
