Abstract
Stress is part of life, and is generally associated with a constant change in the circumstances one faces. The term "stress" refers to an internal condition caused by a need , exhaustion or lack of consent. A certain level of stress is unavoidable. The purpose of the present study was to compare burnout and mental health according to the demographic characteristics of male and female employees in Arak refinery. The present research is a descriptive cross-sectional study of burnout and mental health with respect to demographic characteristics of male and female employees in Arak refinery. The statistical population was all the male and female employees in Arak refinery from whom 120 male and female participants were selected by using convenience sampling. Measurement tools included Hillier and Goldberg GHQ questionnaires. Burnout was also measured by Maslach burnout inventory questionnaire. In general , we concluded that emotional exhaustion was linked directly to high levels of job demands. The primary determinant of emotional exhaustion, is the organizational pressure on a person. Thus, an employee whose job involves interpersonal contacts is subject to more burnout.
