Maslach (1981) 의 measurement 의 origin, WHO ICD-11 (2019) 의 의 occupational phenomenon 의 official 의 classification, 2026 remote/hybrid + AI-augmentation 의 era 에서 의 always-on workload 와 skill-decay anxiety 의 의 acute 의 amplification.

Post-incident psychological safety
Blameless retrospective questions:
1. What did you observe? (no "you should have")
2. What constraint were you under?
3. What would have helped?
4. What systemic gap surfaced?
매 결정 기준
상황
Approach
Early signal (1 dimension high)
Scope reduction + check-in
Moderate (2 dimensions)
Recovery plan + therapy referral
Severe (3 dimensions)
Medical leave + role evaluation
Team-wide pattern
Systemic — review WLB, rotation, scope
Post-major-incident
Blameless retro + comp time
기본값: engineering manager 의 default — quarterly MBI screen + commit telemetry + sustainable-pace policy.
언제: burnout signal detection from telemetry, recovery plan draft, retrospective question generation.
언제 X: clinical diagnosis 의 substitute 의 X — therapy 의 separate.
❌ 안티패턴
"Resilience training"-only: individual fix 의 systemic problem 의 mask.
Pizza & ping-pong: perks 의 root cause (workload, control) 의 not-address.
Burnout = weakness: stigma 의 의 의 의 reporting 의 suppress.
Manager 의 "just push through": short-term gain 의 long-term attrition.
