Boosting work engagement through a simple smartphone diary
Work engagement is a positive and persistent state of mind related to one's work. It is characterized by high energy and mental resilience (vigor), enthusiasm and involvement (dedication), and complete concentration in the task at hand (absorption). Engaged workers are not merely more productive; they are more likely to be proactive, creative, and less susceptible to burnout. Most importantly, work engagement has been consistently linked to many health benefits and overall well-being.

CliCARE: Grounding Large Language Models in Clinical Guidelines for Decision Support over Longitudinal Cancer Electronic Health Records
Large Language Models (LLMs) hold significant promise for improving clinical decision support and reducing physician burnout by synthesizing complex, longitudinal cancer Electronic Health Records (EHRs). However, their implementation in this critical field faces three primary challenges: the inability to effectively process the extensive length and multilingual nature of patient records for accurate temporal analysis; a heightened risk of clinical hallucination, as conventional grounding techni…

A Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm for Healthcare Workforce Scheduling
Workforce scheduling in the healthcare sector is a significant operational challenge, characterized by fluctuating patient loads, diverse clinical skills, and the critical need to control labor costs while upholding high standards of patient care. This problem is inherently multi-objective, demanding a delicate balance between competing goals: minimizing payroll, ensuring adequate staffing for patient needs, and accommodating staff preferences to mitigate burnout. We propose a Multi-objective G…

Wreckreation Looks Like a Heavily Customizable Evolution of Classic Burnout Games
Wreckreation looks like a fun race track-building game that's big on wackiness.

So “MAP activist” and self admitted groomer Katie Cruz is mass reporting and privacy striking anyone who covers her. Spread the word, but be careful. She’s already threatened one YouTuber’s life over it. #fediblock #psa

Post-leave burnout recovery, week 2:
Lots of mixed feelings in returning to work. I really missed my team and my job. Work and the work schedule are each somewhat helpful for recovery. 1:1s with reports and partnerships are a strong highlight of my week!
Motivation while recovering from the tail end of burnout is hard for some types of work as a manager. Burnout makes motivation hard as it is, and lack of context on what's going on makes that harder, and both of those exacerba…

Der #Rhein steht unter zunehmendem Druck. Steigende #Wassertemperaturen, häufigeres #Niedrigwasser und das Ausbreiten invasiver Arten bringen das

Wichtige Wasserstraße: Der Rhein fließt auf den Burnout zu
Sinkende Pegel, wärmeres Wasser, sterbende Arten: Der Rhein ist extrem unter Stress. Der mächtige Fluss wird zunehmend unberechenbar – für Mensch, Natur und Industrie.

I’d venture that the situation depicted in the classic and obligatory xkcd on the topic (https://xkcd.com/2347/) is rooted in the failure to distinguish (1) and (2).
So is a lot of OSS burnout: somebody shares something cool in the spirit of (1), maybe even tries to be a good individual steward of it, and next thing you know people are beating down their door with demands and complaints as if they are (2).

"His uncle urged companies to be more mindful of staff who frequently come into the office at odd hours, suggesting that awareness alone could save lives" - Updated story reflects he had a heart attack.

Modeling Developer Burnout with GenAI Adoption
Generative AI (GenAI) is rapidly reshaping software development workflows. While prior studies emphasize productivity gains, the adoption of GenAI also introduces new pressures that may harm developers' well-being. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the adoption of GenAI and developers' burnout. We utilized the Job Demands--Resources (JD--R) model as the analytic lens in our empirical study. We employed a concurrent embedded mixed-methods research design, integrating quantit…

I recently interview Dr. Richard Duggins, a consultant psychiatrist and psychotherapist for my podcast. Richard is the author of 'Burnout-free Working', which is a guide to avoiding the experience.

Skill-Aligned Fairness in Multi-Agent Learning for Collaboration in Healthcare
Fairness in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) is often framed as a workload balance problem, overlooking agent expertise and the structured coordination required in real-world domains. In healthcare, equitable task allocation requires workload balance or expertise alignment to prevent burnout and overuse of highly skilled agents. Workload balance refers to distributing an approximately equal number of subtasks or equalised effort across healthcare workers, regardless of their expertise.…

Counterfactual simulations for large scale systems with burnout variables
We consider large-scale systems influenced by burnout variables - state variables that start active, shape dynamics, and irreversibly deactivate once certain conditions are met. Simulating what-if scenarios in such systems is computationally demanding, as alternative trajectories often require sequential processing, which does not scale very well. This challenge arises in settings like online advertising, because of campaigns budgets, complicating counterfactual analysis despite rich data avail…

When AI Writes Back: Ethical Considerations by Physicians on AI-Drafted Patient Message Replies
The increasing burden of responding to large volumes of patient messages has become a key factor contributing to physician burnout. Generative AI (GenAI) shows great promise to alleviate this burden by automatically drafting patient message replies. The ethical implications of this use have however not been fully explored. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a semi-structured interview study with 21 physicians who participated in a GenAI pilot program. We found that notable ethical cons…

My bro-in-law have me a car deodoriser. He's all class.

Delighted to confirm the first of our 'After hours' WorkLifeSpark community sessions. This is where expert guests from my podcast return for a live Q&A with community members.
I'll be joined by Dr Richard Duggins, author of 'Burnout-free Working' and expert in workplace mental health. He'll be answering questions from our community members on how to avoid burnout.

Great article by Michal Ganzarcik for Shiftmag explaining the nuances of "Just say no" in a career space (Software Development theme, but I believe it applies to work in general).
I especially love the last line under "What's the solution?":
> **Don’t reward or idolize overwork.** Encourage a culture that values balance and sustainable effort over relentless hustle.

EDUMATH: Generating Standards-aligned Educational Math Word Problems
Math word problems (MWPs) are critical K-12 educational tools, and customizing them to students' interests and ability levels can increase learning outcomes. However, teachers struggle to find time to customize MWPs for each student given large class sizes and increasing burnout. We propose that LLMs can support math education by generating MWPs customized to student interests and math education standards. To this end, we use a joint human expert-LLM judge approach to evaluate over 11,000 MWPs …
