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.

Measurement tools included Hillier and Goldberg GHQ questionnaires. Burnout was also measured by Maslach burnout inventory questionnaire.

Thus, an employee whose job involves interpersonal contacts is subject to more burnout.
