4 فخاخ في العلاقات تؤدي إلى الإرهاق

هل علاقاتك في مكان العمل تحرقك بهدوء؟ بالاستعانة بأبحاث واسعة النطاق عبر الصناعات، يكشف الباحث في السلوك التنظيمي إريك كوينتان عن أربعة فخاخ علاقاتية مخفية منسوجة في نسيج العمل — ويستكشف كيف يشكل الاتصال المرونة والضعف والإرهاق.

The patterns of relationships at work can shape not just creativity and performance, but also vulnerability to burnout. Large-scale research across industries reveals that both tightly-knit teams and broad, open networks hide relational traps that quietly sap energy and resilience. For example, 49 percent of employees have reported experiencing burnout, often linked to toxic work environments and unbalanced work relationships. Recognizing and navigating these hidden dynamics is essential for lasting workplace health.

Strong Connections Can Both Fuel and Drain Workplace Well-Being

Workplace networks shape not just how people collaborate but also how they experience stress and exhaustion. Large-scale research found that nearly half of employees suffer from burnout, often linked to hidden patterns in their professional relationships. Tight-knit teams may offer support, yet also trap members with rigid norms or negative emotions. Meanwhile, those with broad, disconnected contacts face overwhelming demands and dependency, both of which quietly increase vulnerability to burnout.
